The season for the commoner species is the same as for wild duck and farmers may obtain an out-of-season permit if their crops are at risk. Wild geese are seldom found commercially, but if you are prepared to risk a fishy flavour and tough flesh, the older birds can be braised or stewed, and young birds roasted in the same way as domestic geese.
