Hello,
I just shot my first grouse today! I cleaned them and all of that, after bleeding them. Now, I am not sure what to do with them!
Would it be bad to soak them in cold water? Also, take a look at the picture below... the hind area of the torso is kind of yellowed and feels a little stiffer then the rest of the muscle. This was how it looked when I pulled the feathers off. Is that a bad sign of illness or anything? Unfortunately, my friend who normally hunts with me was unable to go today, otherwise I'd ask him.
Also, does anyone have some good recipes for Grouse?
