Dear Writing Huntress,
I’m trying my hand at waterfowl hunting this year and need some help. The only other kind of hunting I’ve done was deer hunting with my 20-gauge pump shotgun. Do you have any basic guidelines for a newbie goose hunter? Is my 20-gauge enough to kill a goose? How do you cook goose meat?

I’ve been bow hunting with a youth bow for the past 2 seasons, because my upper body strength couldn’t handle a full-sized bow when I first started shooting archery.
