Got back into grouse hunting this weekend. Decided to try something different. I'm years past I mostly just cut it up and fried it like chicken. Sure glad I decided on grilling it. Rubbed with butter, sa!t, pepper, and a touch of tyme. Also a clump.of butter and a half an orange in the cavity. Over cooked it a touch, wasn't sure on what proper finish temp should be. Dang good way to go low carb.

Hmmm... Never had Grouse.
That cast iron fried Grouse looks pretty darned good.
Like, for the unusual bird.
More of a roasted grouse, kept it off coal for the most part. Ruffed grouse are pretty common up here, just got away from hunting them for too many years. It was one of the best things I've made in a long time.
 
Looks awesome! I grilled up a fresh grouse recently and it was so good. I need to start freezing them so I can cook up a bunch at once.

Those guys come running thru my yard all the time & would love to try one. Although I live in a gated community I don't think the neighbors would appreciate me out in the back yard shooting grouse!

Looks great. Like! I've had lots of fun hunting them but haven't done so in the last 8 or 9 years. Terrific time of the year to be in the woods.

Love Grouse hunting! There's a lot of them out here. I've always fried them like chicken too. Haven't taken one in a while... Yours looks real good!

I need to find more than one at a time!
Haha same!
My husband and I went hunting the other day and everytime we saw a quail I was like, "I'm not just cooking one tiny quail". But we probably came across one every hour or so, which would have made for a good haul by the end of the day. Lesson learned lol

Looks great. We don't have grouse down here. Quail, doves, turkey and ducks are plentiful in the right spots. Fried, grilled or smoked all of them many times. Curious as to what a grouse taste like. Thanks

I'm told it's similar to quail. I've never had quail, so can't confirm.
 
Looks Great Kawboy!!
Nice Job!
Like.
I haven't had Grouse in Years.
There aren't many Grouse around here, so My Dad & I used to go about 60 miles North for Grouse and Snowshoe Rabbits. That's a long time ago!!
Thanks for the Memories.
