Canada goose jerky is some mighty fine eating. I was stocking up my goose breast last year, I kept adding breast to a gallon size bag and come to find out it wasn't a freezer bag. In the spring I went to thaw out the breast and they were all freezer burnt I felt like crap for killing those birds and not eating them. I was raised to only kill what you plan to eat and apparently these millenals were taught otherwise.
Im with ya on the goose jerky. I make some every year. Don't know why folks do that. Sadly I see that happen all the time. Couldn't tell you how many times I've seen animals shot dead and left laying or thrown out. I won't shoot if I'm not gonna eat it
Marinate it 12-24 hrs. in your favorite concoction, then let it drip or put it in the grill or smoker on low to dry it out some. Then turn your oven to the lowest setting, and crack the door open even if you have to stick a butter knife in it. Spread it out on the oven racks and a drip pan or tinfoil on the rack below so your wife won't kill you for messing up the bottom of the oven and dry it til' it looks and feels like black leather. It should bend, not break! Good luck!Is there a good way to make goose jerky without a dehydrator? I usually just give mine away to someone who is very happy to have them, but I would like to try making jerky out of them.
