How to pluck a goose
Get a large chopping block.
To pluck a goose can be a bit of a bloody mess, so it would help to do this on a piece of old plywood, or even the tailgate of your truck. Have paper towels and a garbage bag handy.
This will make the whole cleanup process much easier if you work to contain it ahead of time. Get your area ready before you start plucking the geese so that you know where everything is and are prepared for your work once you start plucking.
