Yep, my fiance and I did one for our Yule party and it was absolutely wonderful. He just cleaned it, rubbed it with herbs and stuck it out in our smoker with water in the pan. If you have a smoker or access to one, that's the easiest and best way to do one. The problem with goose is that it can be both greasy (from just under the skin) and simultaneously dry...smoking it takes care of both problems with very little mess or clean-up.
But that means we'll have to share with him and my mom. j/k. My mom would get a kick out of it. I just don't want to drive 50 miles with a raw goose in the trunk.
I've nev er had one turn out dry, although it can be a bit tough if it's undercooked. Roasting it at high temps is excellent for the goose, will completely trash your oven, and isn't ideal if you're saving the fat because it burns. The way I describe worked beautifully for me for years and is working less well now- I think my oven temp's a bit low, and my previous oven was a bit high. By "less well" I mean that the skin is not losing as much of the fat under it as it should; the meat is still great.

Has anyone roasted the goose in the oven?

Perhaps you could bribe them with chocolate or wine or something?
