Out With a Bang

[CPAjeff]

2024 went out with a bang! My son and I spent the afternoon in a blind with some amazing people, enjoying some incredible decoying action. Boss 2 3/4” #4s out of a 20 and 12 worked just fine.

We ended up killing three geese with bands (hard to see in the pics). My son was able to keep one of the bands, while the other two were given to the other youth hunters that we had the privilege of sharing the blind with. Fun fact - I was able to help with the banding project on the day this bird was banded.

Cubed up 48 duck and goose breasts and canned them. I opened a can this morning and had a couple pieces, kind of tastes like roast beef. I’ll wait 24-48 hours to see if I die from food poisoning, if not, I’ll have some more.

What is your process time ? I use a pressure canner for venison : 10 lbs. for 75 minutes - 16 pint jars at a time.

Pressure canning? Hadn't thought of that, need to try it, need to find a way to eat goose or I'll stop huntimg them.

Yes sir! It's really nice to have some bottles handy for quick meals. I find myself bottling/canning more and more as the years go by.

We are at around 500’ above sea level. Maybe thats the difference in required weight and time ?

Yeah, probably. My house is at right at 5400' above sea level.
