Canada Goose with all the fixin's?

Won't swear to this but I believe the Canada Goose is protected here in Canada as it is a natiional symbol. Under special circumstances they can be culled if a tremendous nuisance, or a danger around airports etc.
I don't believe you can hunt them outright although native Canadians are exempt.

A number of years ago, my canoeing partner and I had been dropped off on a tributary of the Albany River with the intention of canoeing to James Bay.

In spite of the isolated location, we crossed paths with some 'indians' camped nearby.
We found ourselves engaged in small talk with the group while enjoying the last beers we would quaff for a few weeks. They mentioned that they were cooking a Canadian Goose on a spit over an open fire at their camp site. Try as we might, we just couldn't get ourselves invited over to sample this delicacy.

Moose? I've tried. Canadian Goose - no.....
I've heard that beaver tail is another delacacy historically enjoyed. Propped up against a blazing fire, the fat in it will explode and it pops like popcorn.

With my recent arrival home, and everything here in chaotic disarray, we celebrated Thanksgiving with a traditional home made pizza this year.
Enjoyed all the traditional fare vicariously thorough all your mouth watering posts!

I suppose that my American friends are rushing out today to burn up their plasic cards on Christmas sales. Lightfoot under the tree would always be a hit!
