Good stuff, this weekend is our last weekend as well. How many decoys you run ?
 
Very nice! Best method to serve geese?

I've routed thin sliced breast meat, in egg, coated with bread crumbs, this & that seasoning (rosemary a favorite), a bit of sugar mixed in. Roll 'em good and pan fry olive oil - covered and presto. Same with duck and thin sliced pheasant though that has been a long while.
 
From a recipe I share here a couple of years ago

Onion powder, to taste

Boil together until mixed and then pour into a container with on 7lb bag of ice, I use a food grade 5 gallon bucket.

Trim all fat, silver skin and blood shot meat off of goose breasts.

Put goose breasts in a container, again a food grade 5 gallon bucket works for me, and cover with brine, The breasts have to be covered. I leave this in my beer fridge in the garage and stir daily for 5 to 6 days. Once out of the brine, rinse meat and let sit in clean, cold water for an hour and then air dry for 30 minutes. Brush with apple cider and sprinkle fresh cracked pepper on top.

Bring your smoker to 200 degrees and place meat on the racks until the internal temp of the meat reaches 155 to 160 deg. Remove from the smoker and let sit for a while. Usually you have to sample them. Slice thin and serve with pepper jack cheese and crackers.

I have standing orders for these every year and people will take them all so I don't have to worry about ever having too many birds.

It depends on the day but on this hunt it was 14 dozen full body decoys and 4 dozen shells. Late season it seems like you either need to go really big or really small. With four hunters we opted for bigger.

It is fun when you can still get flocks of 20-30 to decoy on the last day of the season.

Nice hunt. And thanks for reposting the recipe. I think that's my cue to get a smoker finally.
