Michigan has no provisions for subsistence living in our game laws. So, I am mindful of possession limits. I shoot all the time, so if I don't mix up my quarry's, I end up with a freezer full of trouble. Possession limits provide a framework within which to practice enjoying, rather than just killing.
Then there's the matter of preparation. We live modern lives, so I don't feel like game processing, and cooking from scratch every day. Sometimes, I just want to be served.
I know people that have had complaints lodged against them, and they've had to sit there and count perch and walleye fillets in front of warrant serving police.
That's not me.
This dish looked good, but wasn't. Tart cherries are not complementary to ruffed grouse.
