The geese my husband hunted and we cooked had hardly any fat. He hunted on a preserve in Kentucky in the 70's and 80's. I will say this they did not have hardly any fat on them.
This is what we found and I stand by it. That is enough on the subject.
I have never shot a wild goose that had any amount of fat. I live in eastern Canada and have hunted/harvested geese in 2 province. Most have had very little fat. I would think after they stop migrating and settle in an farming area for the winter feeding on the remains of corn and other grains the geese would fatten up. Here is a picture of BooBoo and I with some of our geese. She’s the cute one.
