Depends how old it is. Shot one ringed - traced it back and discovered twas at least 18 years old. Tough as old boots even boiled for a year. Eat the young birds (oooh eerrr) leave the old ones to them as have nothing else to eat. (if it's third hand, I suspect there is a reason)

Use the hot fat to pour over your shoes, waterproofs em for years, leather shoes become wash clean, think of the shoe polish savings. Give the goose to the dog and have a vindaloo

I've got this recipe from an old 'keeper, so it's as good as it gets: pluck it, gut it, halve 6 apples and put them in the body cavity, re-seal the flaps (thread them with string) bury it deep in a good rich soil, then leave it there and forget about it.

Its a Canada goose apparently. Appreciate some knowledge by those with experience

Why did you draw it? Are you a bit of an artiiist?

Put it in the oven sat on a brick!
When the brick goes soft you can eat the Canada goose!
I've been given the very same advise on Canada goose several times by different hunters
