Hey guys,

Any of you guys into eating game birds?  I had my first guinea fowl (farm raised).  It was kinda tough but I guess it tasted like chicken.  My uncle prepared it, kind of a soup style, and the broth was excellent.

Is the meat supposed to be tough on guinea fowl?  

What game birds do you guys like?  How do you prepare them?  How about pheasents, they any good eating?

Cheers!

Pheasant are great. I don't care much for duck. Guinea are tough. I've never had them in soup though. Turkey is great. Dove are better. Crow sucks. But my favorite bird is the willow ptarmigan it spend a mojority of the year eathing wild blue berries.

Gamecock was very tender after the Tigers beat the crap out of them. ;D

I'm with fluke.

pheasant, dove, chuckar, quail, and especially grouse are great tasting. I also like canadian goose, it is at my upper limit on the gamey fowl-o-meter. Duck is pretty rough and I can only eat it if made by a couple of my hardcore duck hunter buddies that know how to prepare it.

Sandhill Crane isn't too bad either and it is pretty cool when you drop one going 50mph, 150 feet in the air. But shooting 3.5" 10 ga shells in a single shot break action is pretty punishing.

This is the next bird hunt I have on my radar. Pretty intense stuff.

Himalayan Snowcock

Guinea-N-Sausage-Gumbo will be tender

Duck or Goose-Pot roasted no fowl taste

Doves or Quail Jambalaya um um good

As with any wild game it's all in how you prepare it, form the cleaning to the cooking

This is my favorite cook book for wild game:

Pheasant, quail, dove are all excellent.  I have yet to get a hungarian partridge but hear they are quite tasty too.  Goose is very tasty when prepared and cooked right.  Duck(if you shoot the right ones) can be just as good as goose.  There are sone ducks that are not good though.  Either way like Catt said preparation is key and knowing how to cook it(waterfowl is not to be overdone).

Oh wild turkey is one of my favorite things to eat period!
