Ok guys i was watching that RNT waterfowlin show and they were talking about all the different species of geese we have and the only one i had never heard of was a maximus. They said this thing can get to 24 pounds. I personally have never shot a 24 pound goose but im wondering where i have to go to make that happen. I goose hunt typically in Illinois, are those monster geese out there and i just havent gotten one yet? thanks
No there are not any geese left of that size. Rumor is they used to have them that got this big though. A guy from dropzone dekes ran a contest for a 16 pound goose and nobody shoot one one for three years, finally somebody shoot a #14.
im just givin yea crap. i DVR'd both them shows. i loved the episode of Waterfowlers edge today. i didnt like the RNT-V one that good. i wander how big a 24 pound goose would be.
yup i dvr'd them as well, arent we cool haha. a 24 pound goose would be something like a turkey i suppose. that would be a lot of bird to see falling out of the sky and i bet it would hit with quite a thud as well.
HAHAHA im glad im not the only one who does that. the dogs go nuts too. A couple years ago when i bought my first layout blind i was pretty excited about it, so me and my buddy set it up in my living room and played old school nintendo Duck Hunt while laying in the blind and drinking jim beam. was a fun night haha

just my two cents but talking to old hunters from my area and reading nebraskaland magazine all of the old hunters say that our geese now a days are alot bigger than "their" geese were just what ive heard and read.
if you look at the smaller bird and realize its still a greater canada goose, with a small bird being 8-12 pounds at the end of season after feeding on corn for 6 months, ya wouldnt disagree
There usa be some 22# ones in the red river valley . But i think they are gone. :crying: Here is 2 man limit from cheese head country. Big but not 17#. AK Rick :beer:
hey wats the biggest goose or duck tht u have shot any were and were do u perfur to hunt at for them if u can give me some help ill b glad thanks :help: :beer: :bow: :bow: :beer: never new were to hunt for the best ducks and geese
last season out in KC, Missouri my brother and I both shot very large geese. My biggest at about 19lbs and his at 21lbs....it was late season so they had been feeding on corn all year too :biggrin: . A 24lbs goose wouldnt surprise me to bad.
i bage to differ we have 2 geese on the wall that both went over 20 lbs and 1 that went over 24 lbs all three were banded out of minn. in 1994 shot in 1997 and 1999 so i know for a fact that there are geese in the 20 lbs range and 24 maybe uncommon but they do exist
