Depends on the diet of the eagle. The coastal ones on a salmon diet are pretty damn good, but the prairie ones that eat gophers and housecats can be pretty stringy. In the prairies, it's crane all the way. Sometimes they are best enjoyed as an appetizer to siberian tiger steaks, but the tiger has to be free range.

Rockymtnx; I remember a couple years ago we had a AO member claiming to shoot a 22 lb snow goose. Luckly he turned himself in before anyone else did.

I'm in. I'll make a pillow from the down and eat the bird.. Incidentlly they DO sometimes feed in fields... especially in the spring. when feeding in water they eat the same things as do Canvasbacks, which are considered superb.
Where is the rumor of a dove season come from? That's an interesting comment....

Red i was able to hunt them over in new zealand, It is one of them adventures that i never dreamed of even going on until we were over there on a buddies 5 bird specie hunt after our big game hunting.
If your a goose hunter and love the moment when they go to land in front of you then this would get your blood pumping, they are monster birds and you can actually feel them coming to land, It was an awsome experience.

Forget the white ones, that one is going to make an amazing mount.

Not in Montana. They are on a draw down there, but from what I've heard you will get drawn every couple years. I haven't hunted them myself but I know a guy that has. Sounds pretty fun.

That was hilarious! I remember it too. A 22 lb snow! Too funny. Haven't heard from him on this thread though... 
Sorry if that was over the line.

Hunting swans
I know a graying redneck who has legally hunted swans three or four times. Guy has a mounted swan in his living room, has donated another swan to his taxidermist where it is on display (and drove the federal fish cops nuts 'cause they don't realize that the world is bigger than Alberta/Canada ) .. and has eaten them in a cream sauce (yummy !) ... They are spectacular ... come out of the sky like a Super Cub hit by enemy fire ... And for a man who has hunted such strange varmints as ant bears, tapirs, carpinchos, phantom brown bears, savannah buffalo, and gophers ... he dearly loves to hunt the birds !!! Go figure ...
