OK, woodruff, you just diqualified yourself with the duck and sage grouse comments. I know most people don't like to eat sage grouse, but if you shoot younger birds, take good care of them RIGHT AWAY and prepare them well, they are actually good eating. Gutting them, washing them with cold water and getting them chilled right away is important, I've found. They're quite good on the BBQ.
Ducks are also very good if you shoot birds that have been eating well, take good care of them and know how to prepare them. Birds that eat bad tasting stuff simply won't be good, but a nice rice fed bird is always good if properly handled.
