Grouse is on the menu

[Marbles]

Nice. I'm a fan of grouse.

Last hunt I picked up some a snack. Neck shot with the RSS.

I've never eaten the blue or spruce grouse. Are they dark meat like sharptial and chickens?

Blues are much lighter. Maybe lighter than pheasant even, great eating. Haven’t got a spruce yet.

Oh man, this is funny but so wrong. Braise those suckers for a few hours, strain the solids out, pull the meat off the bone (at least the meat that hasnt already fallen off), get the weird gristly fibery bones out, and use that meat for soup, stew, posole, tacos, whatever. Thats some of the best tasting meat on a turkey! Dont forget to use the broth too.

lol.

I've made soup of them before. The truck tire thing is just a joke after trying to eat them grilled.

I end up with a plug in vehicle fridge a couple weeks ago, so our first birds of the season were cleaned and chilled within 4 hours of dying.

I'd love to figure out a good way to keep the skin on.

Stop posting grouse pictures! I've already convinced myself to leave the .22 pistol at home and you posting those pictures isn't helping affirm that decision.

*Heads back to the barn to weigh pistol again*

ETA: pistol+can+ammo is 1.5#.

A suppressed 223 and neck shots will let you leave the 22 pistol and shoot grouse and moose with the same gun. Entrance and exit of a 77 TMK.
