I am thinking so now. Came across a covey of about 10 and noticed they were all Ruffled Grouse except 1, it was a Spruce male. I took the male Spruce and 2 Ruffed hens. The Spruce meat was dark as usual but the Ruffed hen's meat was quite dark as well. They were all quite dumb and non skiddish. I shot another Ruffed some time later and it was wary as usual for Ruffed and the meat was it's usual light colour.
Any opinions here? Glenny
