Where I live there is an overwhelming amount of Canadian Geese, and they are quite the pest.
On my way to work this morning, there was a field full of them.
Got me thinking...
Could you feed game bird like this in your dogs raw diet?
Or would there be some sort of risk with parasites or something that would make it not worth it?
I've read somewhere (can't think of it right now) that some hunting dogs will refuse to retrieve them for some reason. Has anyone heard of anything like this?
Better yet, has anyone fed Canadain geese, or any other type of geese? And would you feed the whole bird, or portions of it?
I would give wild game the long deep freeze before serving it. Many parasites are vulnerable to that.
Other than that, I don't think it would be different than any other poultry. If your dogs will eat feathers, just gut them before freezing, otherwise you'd have to pluck them too. Optionally, chop into meal sized chunks before freezing.
I wouldn't serve it whole, because I let my dogs be picky when thier food kinda grosses me out too. I'd pluck em, gut em, and half or quarter them before freezing.
How many will your hunting regulations let you take?
As a federally protected water fowl, you will need the appropriate hunting licenses and permits. The Fish & Game people can get pretty cranky about that.
Not certain if that applies to 'road-kill' *wink* *wink*
Some folks around here make a pretty nice summer income by taking a dog and chasing the geese from the golf courses.
I'm looking at my WV 08-09 Hunting and Trapping Regulations...
Crow is listed. There is no limit on them, and you can pretty much hunt them year round. Could you feed that?
As for the geese, it says a Harvest Information Program (HIP) card is required. On the back of the book it says its free, and required of all migratory bird hunters. Other than that, my knowledge is limited. I'm looking online for info, but the WV DNRs web page is slow today for some reason.
I like the *wink-wink* Charlie, I was thinking of some pinpoint suped up blowdart action out the side of the truck... Haha...
And I'm convinced that they aren't migratory. Once they get here they never leave!
Although, they might be too dumb to realize that they are supposed to be migratory. They certainly aren't smart enough to get out of the middle of the road!
