400 people will get 3 tags a piece! Only northern part of the state north of I-20 and 22. Theres a lot around Wheeler refuge and a good bit around Crow Creek refuge and Weiss Lake. I hunted a spot in Jackson county year before last one morning and I could have shot 100, flew right over my head all morning!!

Probably cost you $15.00 to get a license to look at the sign up web page.

The registration/info page is up, but not active on the alabama outdoors page... says it’ll be coming soon. I’m just going to check back every couple days till something changes.

Depends on the goose, Specks are good, Canada geese are ok and snows are a bit tough and need a LOT of seasoning.

Gonna try and slice some Canada goose breast up like a steak with Dales seasoning, I've been told that way is pretty tasty.

Hopefully will get to try some Cranes to see if they live up to their reputation.

Specks are good, the rest are ok for jerky and catfish bait that's about it.

The guys I hunted with in WI made jerky, bologna and several other snacks out of the Canada geese they killed. They usually killed 350 plus a year and no telling how many snows. Some of the guys in Canada made the steaks which I’m hoping to try out.

None of them beat an early teal.

I’ve eaten Emu and Ostrich and it was tasty. Curious if the cranes will taste similar.

It's all about how you prepare it. I made some Canada goose breast (smoked) that was some of the best meat I've ever eaten.

Geese is good if marinated in moores and grilled until rare. Had it in a roast once and it was nowhere near as good.

If you think geese are not edible, you must have absolutely no clue or too little experience in how to prepare or cook waterfowl! I will throw my grilled Canadian goose up against any steak (except elk meat) and I will challenge ANY meat in the world with my smoked Canadian goose breast!

I am really hoping to get drawn for the crane tags as i have never had the chance to eat any and i have heard numerous times how good they are!
