Grouse!!! Yum yum.
Years ago, in Michigan, I would go hunting with my buddies and grouse were on the list. We would bag a few of these tasty treats and fry them up battered in corn meal. Oh so tasty. Anyone else ever dine on these fine feathered friends?

I want to take my boys grouse hunting but I do not have a dog and the populations are in serious decline in my state.

Way back, I hunted them in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. At that time, they were abundant. Not sure what its like now. Bigger than a quail, smaller than a pheasant. They didn't fly, but they fluttered. Like a chicken.

I've seen them in Northern New Mexico / Southern Colorado, but have never had the opportunity to hunt or eat them.

Grouse, quail, prairie chicken...and that huge thing that was imported from Hungry all those years ago, forget the name...delicious. Hungarian Partridge I think it was.

We hunted them a lot when I was growing up in SW Ohio. Quail & woodcock too.
Yep, batter em up & fry or make a game bird stew in the family Crockpot. Tasty. |

State bird here in pennsyltucky, I’ve never really hunted for them, and actually don’t see many here even in denser northern big acreage woods upstate. I think upstate you could hunt all day and maybe come out with a couple tops, down here in southern part of state they are pretty rare, I’ve only seen a handful while out archery hunting.

Had one once. Wasn't even cold before going into the frying pan with butter.
It was amazing. I love me some pheasant too. |

I've hunted for grouse, quail, and pheasant. All are good tasting. In my opinion, quail is the best tasting of the bunch.
I've also eaten dove. Good red meat.

I have a friend who is a quail-hunting fanatic. You know how some guys spend a fortune on fancy shotguns for trap and skeet? Well, he buys those same kinds of guns just for quail. I love to shoot dove, but don't like to eat them. Since nobody else I know likes to eat dove, either, I don't go dove hunting anymore. |

Somebody needs to shoot these ghetto pigeons in their native environment, and leave the grouse alone
