Had a friend of mine tell me when he hunted in Canada they would shoot and eat them after they marinated them and they would taste like steak. Anybody else ever do that? I know in the U.S. they are protected so I guess you have to go up north to try it.

I know they have a season on them in Texas...maybe they also can be hunted in other states where they have good numbers.

Jack,



Thanks for posting that site...it's really neat....Friday my dog had a stare down with about three of them.....didn't know whether to point them, chase them, or run away. She's used to pheasant and can't figure anything out that is that big.

My Britt would have run away I think.
