Anyone remember "Snipe" hunting? I think this guy did it one too many times!

what the hell is the matter with you people? huh?

I fucking hate those birds. Those mean-ass birds.

Then you'll love Brendan's story this week.

That boy needs more lucrative employment, lest he starve.

Are you trying to imply that Brendan Kiley caught, killed, and ate a goose?

It is actually "Canada Geese" since they do not have citizenship.

Brendan and I split an order of ferret poutine recently. I see he's been influenced.

We used to hunt them when I lived up in B.C. on the upper reaches of the Kootenays.

Have no idea why people here don't look at them and go "Yum, let's have goose for dinner!" - is it some wierd phobia or what?

If he can't get the geese, why doesn't he try some old-fashioned Squirrel Melt?

Not really a phobia, Will. It is only that the meat of Canadian Geese that frequent our local area have a rather fishy or muddy taste to it. It's due to their continually living and feeding on the water.

The geese you've dined upon in the upper reaches of the Kootenays have been feeding on grains and their taste it simply wonderful.

Yes, you really are what you eat.

Which reminds me, if one wants a proper poutine, once must be in Montreal at 3 AM on a weekend.

Ohhhh C A N A D A !!!

Going by the evidence of the video, if that fellow is trying to feed himself by hunting, he's going to starve to death in short order. Any fool knows the easiest way to catch geese isn't to chase them, it's to feed them.

But goose is GREASY! I made one a couple years ago for the holidays, and holy crap, you could have lubricated a train engine with the drippings. It was good, but WOW. I thought the goose was going to completely melt in the oven, like a giant stick of butter.

Basting is a no-no. It does nothing to add to flavoring the meat and opening the oven results in cooling and increased cooking time, possibly leading to dried out meat. Drying out may not be a huge concern with a fatty meat like goose or duck, but it is a concern with turkey.

Just thought you should know.

Love and peace,

P.S Brining is a good way to introduce flavor to an otherwise flavorless piece of poultry, like turkey or chicken.

So, we should take the goose and soak it in Puget Sound?

Interesting story.

But if you're *really* into post-enviroholocaust Seattle survival practice, why didn't you capture and partake of any of the myriad abandoned dogs or housecats roaming this great city?

Hell, I've often wondered how one of those Greenlake rabbits would cook up...I'll bet someone's done it.

Reminds of a story out of San Fran from the 80s. A company was hired by the city to help deal with the pigeon problem. They promised non-lethal netting and transport and release out in the country. Turns out they had a side business in marketing squab to fine restaurants. Not sure if the term "free range" was in use then, but that was basically what they marketing the birds as.

Great fucking story Brendan! (Non Ironic comment).

I love it, can we get one next week about all the homeless people and drug addicts littering the streets of Seattle?

Bet this boy is damn good in bed. . .But I think the term "Eat me" could be dangerous

What is the purpose of this kind of story? Promoting illegal poaching in city/state parks, animal capure and cruelty? Bringing a gun into a state park?
wow- you sunk to a new low. Animal cruelty and poaching is illegal, even if it's trying to be diguised as "hip" and "edgy" journalism.
What happened to the progressive Stranger I once loved and supported?
very sad day indeed for Seattle's "only" alternative-lifestyle zine.
