I like them all equally:

1. woodcock, partridge, doves, snow shoe hares, Frogs, snapping turtle, grey squirrels, black ducks, Teal, mallards, turkey, deer, moose, bear and believe it or not porcupine and musk rats are very tasty. If you don't thinks so why not they eat the same things as rabbits.

Bunnies, Squirrel and Quail are my favorite. I remember when I was a kid we would sit down to a feast of 15 or 20 Quail. I do not see that many in a year now. As for the "B" list, the only one I have had is Coon. Funny meat, the more you chew it the bigger it gets. As for Possum or Armadillo, The Browns will win the Super Bowl first.

I eat a lot of things that some or most people I know would puke over, like frog legs and gizzards and heart and pigs feet and believe it or not boiled cow face skin, tongue, mammaries, stomach (tripe) and feet (those are all mixed together & sold like hot dogs from carts on the streets of southern italy! with salt & lemon it's so unbelieveably and outrageously delicious) and deer and elk and snake & turtle & alligator (thanks again, Ben!) and any type of bird like even songbirds in italy & sparrows & starlings & some sushi & squid & octopus. Hell, even lobsters & crabs look like giant bugs if you think about it but I loooooove them, and raw clams & oysters look like slime but I slurp them down by the dozens.

Yet for some reason the thought of racoon & opposum & squirrel & woodcuck & muskrat & any type of cat, canine or bear make feel like I am going to be the one to hurl. Which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!

I guess maybe it's all a matter of what you grow up eating...

I'm happy to see the grouse love here. Ruff grouse, blue grouse,

Little salt, little pepper, bunch of garlic, roast it in the oven. Jebus, that's a good meat.

Stew it if you prefer. Carrots, celery, chunks of potato. Apple, if you're into that sort of thing. Adds some sweetness.

Northern Wisconsin Ruffle Grouse - fun to hunt and best tasting bird around. Snowshoe Hares and Cottontail Rabbits. Remember to have this game and any game taste it best, field dress it ASAP. For small game I field dress and skin then within minutes of harvesting.

Go Green Bay Packers!!!!!!
