If you shoot geese by a lake or pond is it edible?

Geese are generally edible, and can be hunted for food in most areas during the appropriate hunting seasons. However, it's important to be aware of local regulations and hunting laws, as well as any potential health advisories or restrictions on consuming geese from specific bodies of water.

Geese that have been feeding on aquatic plants or fish in polluted waters may have higher levels of contaminants or toxins in their meat, which could pose health risks if consumed. It is always recommended to check with local wildlife or health authorities for any advisories or guidance before consuming geese harvested from a particular area.
