The biggest problem with resident canada goose shooting in the South is what to do with the carcasses after you shoot'em. These are not the same delicious grain fed birds we find on the Saskatchewan prairie! Our resident geese live off dead mole crickets killed with insecticide by the local golf courses. They smell bad when you clean them!
We have the same wide open season deal here in GA, but nobody seems interested in taking the Fish and Game Dept up on their generosity...Geo
Sadly what you find at local supermarkets is probably less healthy for you. I have talked to someone worked at slaughter house and pretty much gave up on store bought meat altogether.
