I shot a goose this past weekend and when I gutted it, I noticed when I pulled out the heart, it's blood was like jello. I squeezed the heart and it all just gushed out in big clotted clumps. Its all throughout the veigns too, I squeezed the breasts and leg meat and sure enough any veigns gushed out little strings of clotting. I've never seen that before so I'm wondering if it's anything to worry about. There was also a green spot on one of the leg muscles, I ripped off the muscle and kept the rest of the leg. Won't eat until confirmed safe.
 
A sewer goose....one raised on a septic or sewage settling pond. Many people eat poop geese without knowing it. Shoot your geese in a rural area....far from towns.

Well ha ha funny indeed... I cleaned it a few hours after being shot, maybe 4 hours max.. and I mean I've waited longer before.. I usually see clotting in areas like shot wounds and bruising. I just haven't seen a fully clotted goose like this before. I've never had a heart gush solid blood like jello. Just thought something was off about it. Not to mention the coincidence that it's the first bird I've cleaned with a green spot on a muscle got me questioning if that blood #### is really something else.. i mean I'm a rook but not THAT new I've cleaned dozens of birds over the past 5 years but this is wild meat, if there's a risk to something I'd like to know and if I don't know I'm going to ask. That for me was not a normal experience. Again I've waited longer to clean birds and I've cleaned birds in colder temps, I've never seen that much clotting in a goose like that. I was beginning to think something else might be at play, it's a simple question. Thank you to those with legit answers, and to that last prick lol at least try not be a ####in douche with a smartass remark thanks.. I'm not that ####in dumb sometimes I just overthink ####. All I'm thinking is what if I'd be wrong to assume it's normal? But maybe I should eat first and ask questions later. You know cus that logic's never got anyone sick or killed. So yeah #### off!
 
Wow - hang in there Name is Strangely Appropriate. If you survive eating the jelly goose, please post up how you cooked it.

WOW!!! :sok2 Just a little over the top........won't be long at that rate before your username is pink.

As for the goose I'd toss it. The green and that much clotting in just a few short hours seems as though it may have some bad issues. Infection maybe from a pellet wound?

...shot two geese over the years I did not eat...one had a green leg and the other had a body cavity with puss...that doesn't even register compared to the number i've shot...just didn't give throwing them out a second thought any more than if i pulled chicken out of the fridge and it were green...kinda glad i had put them out of their misery
