[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 125432, member: 1485"] I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bit of a wild game hypocrite when it comes to Canada geese. Sure they're fun to hunt, but I've never been the biggest fan of actually eating them. These days, all of the breast meat is turned into jerky, which is always a hit and often gets shared with friends and family. I've always felt guilty about throwing away the legs. Back in college, I experimented cooking the legs a dozen ways, none of which were edible or even chewable. The closest I got was a slow-cooker method that I use for duck legs and is a family favorite, but goose legs proved too much. Last year, I shot a whopping three Canada geese, of which I decided to keep the legs (just five because one was too shot-up). I'd been saving them, hoping to stumble across a recipe that could turn them into a something that resembled food. Then I stumbled on this beauty for Teriyaki goose legs from blogger Hank Shaw: [URL]http://honest-food.net/2016/08/04/teriyaki-duck-legs-recipe/[/URL] Hank turned me onto exploring deeper into culinary arts with wild game many moons ago, but I've since been a bit turned off by his posts.
