Canadian geese are pretty tough to bring down. My dad has been hunting them on the St. Lawrence for the last 25 years. Since they outlawed lead shot, there are a lot more geese that get shot and limp off, rather than come down. The various new bismuth and other heavy shot types work a little better than steel, but are very expensive. Goose is also kind of an acquired taste. Some people don't like it, as it is kind of gamey, and if you don't know what you're doing it is pretty easy to over-cook it and turn it into shoe-leather.
