I seldom get a chance to get close to one of these guys. In Minnesota I see them as they flush at a distance or when a gaggle of them buzz my truck flying from field to field. Compared to my frame of reference (ruffed grouse) they are kind-of big.

Love those furry feet.

Any tricks to preparing these birds for the table?
