I'd agree about geese only as it applies to Canadians, not Snow Geese. My opinion is that Snow's are greasy nasty tough birds that serve no better purpose than to give folks something other than skeet to shoot. Since I'm like Westy and won't shoot it if I don't plan on eating it, I wont hunt Snows.

Now, about ducks, they can be very delicious. I agree with Rampart about the fat too. In fact, duck fat is used in a lot of culinary masterpieces to enhance the flavor. If you're even considering it, DEFINITELY take the leap to duck hunting - it's tough to bag the buggers but well worth it when you do.
