Anyone have any tips for taking the gamey flavor out of the wild bird? I am cooking a wild goose...

How are you cooking it? If you brine it first- that may take out some of the gamey flavor. I cook duck and brine it first which gives it a really nice flavor. If you're grilling it- a dry rub may help bring out some of that taste. I cook bison ect on the grill, using a dry rub and it doesn't come out gamey. With a more gamey meat- I'll let it sit in the dry rub for a minimum of an hour.
