RTF Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Where do I find retsrictions on goose consumpt In NY, I would look at the DEC website, then maybe over at ag's and markets. Unless you plan on living on waterfowl, I don't know of any harm coming from the meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayman Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Re: Where do I find retsrictions on goose consumption? The consumption advisories that I have seen are location specific. Utah has advisories on goldeneye and shovelers in the southern end of Great Salt Lake for high mercury levels. There have also been advisories around the Hudson river area for several years due to PCB contamination, as well as the Fox River in Wisconsin. You may also find advisories around areas that have experienced a pollution event like an oil spill. Wild game is generally healthier than farm raised meat. Although, wild duck has higher cholesterol than domestic chicken. The only other real danger is chipping a tooth on a shot pellet, or not chewing your food sufficiently and choking on it. Unless you're in Utah or around the Fox or Hudson Rivers, then I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, how many meals of waterfowl are you really going to consume in any given week on average. Probably not even enough to replicate labratory studies that cause cancer in mice. If you are really concerned, I would recommend a phone call to the game agency or health department in the state where you hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
