Now the season's started, I've been asked to get rid of some geese on my
father's land on which I shoot. I've read and heard that these birds taste
extremely nice when cooked properly, and their fat is one of the best
available.
Anyone able to point me towards a guide on how to correctly and efficiently
pluck and gut a candian goose and prepare it for cooking? (Not recipes, but
does it have to be hnaged for a day or two first?)
Is there a tool that's used to remove their plumage readily available?
I've told my mum that she's cooking the family one of the geese as soon as I
am able to present it to her in a presentable manner. I'm not going to get
it as close to how a butcher would present it, but why not try?

Some skin them, others just remove the breasts. I did try
plucking a greylag...once.

I've worked on small poultry farms, and at Xmas I used to choose, kill,
pluck & dress the Geese & Turkeys for a couple of the local market's
butchers to enter them in a competition.
I must admit I still feel a buzz when I recall my birds winning :-D

To be honest you can't beat hand-plucked for presentation, as soon as you
add a machine/tool, there's margin for error/mistake.

Cheers Andy, exactly what I wanted. Reckon I'll be sick for the first few
times I do this, but hopefully Ill get it done and get used to it. It's not
the plucking, it's the removing of guts and stuff...

I always understood it was a " CANADA GOOSE", bad grammar maybe but am I
correct? Cheers, Norman.

Canada Goose is the correct name for the bird.
Canada Geese is plural.
Canadian Goose/Geese are a description of where they come from and what they
are.

Technically, either is correct, but it all depends on the context they are
used in 🙂

Ok, they're geese from Surrey but are Canada Geese by breed. What's the word
for someone from Surrey? I presume it's not Surrian. From Kent they're
Kentish I believe, but what about the rest of the counties? Cornish is an
obvious one...

Scientifically they are Branta canadensis. Greylags are Anser anser

You can have Canadian Canada Geese in the UK. They are rare vagrants.

Unless they are "Of Kent," it depends on which side of the Medway they
are from, I can't remember which is which.

Dip the bird into a pot of boiling water just before you pluck it for
about 20 seconds. Makes plucking a dawdle.

You'd need a bl**dy big pot for a Canada. Cheers,Norman.

The locals around here (Easter Ross, Scotland) shoot a lot of
greylags. As I've said before, they skin them or just cut out
the breasts.
