Weird question...

[velvet muley]

This is probably going to sound stupid but I haven't done any goose hunting and am going to start, I'm not hunting out of a blind in a field, I will be walking the river and giving that a shot for now.

So when you're walking a fairly long distance and kill some geese, what would be a good way to carry the geese that you killed back to to truck? Any trick or ideas out there?

Use the same pack you would with elk. Some big sum bitches to be lugging around

If you're walking, I'd suggest a backpack for hauling out geese.

As mentioned. Pack. Most geese shot jump shooting rivers will probably be of the “western”, “Great Basin”, “swamp donkey”, “jumbo” “b-52” varieties. Actual genus classifications. Google it. Ha.
Anyways, each goose will be between 10-13#. X 4 =miserable carrying weight.

Okay, a pack was a thought but wasn't sure if there was anything else out there that I wasn't thinking of. That lanyard might be worth a try too.

I've always devoted all my time and effort big game hunting my whole life and upland bird on the side every year but all the sudden have an itch I have to scratch with the ducks and geese.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I live in Montana close to the Yellowstone and the geese are thick as hell around here, they fly from the river to the fields and back in the thousands everyday.

Save a bullet for yourself if you’re going to have them hanging and bouncing around on a lanyard. Get a good suspension pack or upland vest.

Have a plan of picking them up out the river. Hopefully you can shoot them over land

I have a couple upland vests but I can't see them working very well for geese unless you're talking about a different style maybe?

I do have an older Eberly stock that I really don't use anymore, its more of a loaner for friends or family if they come hunting with me. That might be the way to go.

Some of the upland vests have large game bags, i.e. Final Rise, Wingworks.

Small to medium pack, dress them down as far as you can when you shoot them.

If I were walking a long distance for large geese, I would take some heavy duty shears or tin-snips. Cut the back out and delete the guts, head/neck. Essentially, spatchcock them in the field.
