    To add to this, the 13# bird was to be weighed guts in and unplucked! K

    Largest authenticated Canada on record was taken in Manitoba and weighed 26 lbs, another(3rd largest on record was also taken in Manitoba) it tipped the scales at just over 22 lbs. I personally have weighed one( non officially with a good quality fish scale) at over 18 lbs. some years back. There are monsters out there to be sure.

    Hunting ducks over a field shoot outside of Wakaw Lake Saskatchewan in the mid 70's, we had a group of Greater Canadas come in.
    Had a few goose deeks out, and knew they were in the area, so not overly surprising.
    What was surprising was the size of several we shot.
    Biggest fell to my Wingmaster, and was the largest any of us had ever seen.

    So, we stopped off in Wakaw to register it for the goose derby there.
    Weighed bang on 24 pounds.
    Then ran to Saskatoon, and entered it there as well. You could do that back then and no-one complained.
    That goose took both derbies. Name & pix in the paper (one Proud little Rooster I was!)
    Collected 750 clams, and a free mount.
    Unfortunately a big spending Yank got to the taxidermist, paid huge, and wandered off with the mount.

    I still have yet to see any goose near that size again.
    Perhaps I never will...

    Cheers,
    Nog
