Aging roughed grouse is an interesting proposition.

I used to always age ducks and pheasants. After reading, LLBean's cookbook. LL was a huge advocate of aging and discusses it pretty extensively, including historical european traditions. But over the years, I have decided it really doesn't do anything that I like. Now, I generally clean my birds on the tailgate, especially when I am far from home, and vacuum seal them on the tailgate also, then, drop them in a cooler on ice. Either wet or dry.
