    Personally, i like the gamey taste. That's why i hunt, to get meat that actually tastes like meat.

    If i'm lucky enough to get a couple birds, i stir fry them in a light teriyaki sauce with fresh veggies, served on a bed of rice or pasta.
    Sometimes i'll make "chicken nuggets" and fries for my kids. They must be good, because they always clean their plates and ask if theres any more. Almost have to force feed the fries, apparently "they suck" compared to the nuggets!!

    Buttermilk works the best for tough or gamey meat.

    Not a fan of Spruce Grouse myself so I simply don't shoot them. There are enough Ruffed running around to satisfy my grouse fix.

    We wrap them in bacon and throw some spices on them and then into the oven at 375 for 45 minutes...no game taste at all

    Buttermilk over night, then toss in some seasoned flour and fry in grape seed oil.

    Haven't cooked much grouse, but have cooked mallard that I stuffed the cavity with chunks of apples and oranges and then discarded them before carving the duck --took strong gaminess out altogether --- so maybe you could try cooking the grouse with apples and oranges and serve on a bed of rice that way you'd get your meat, grains and fruits in one serving ~Echo

    Everything is better when it's wrapped in bacon!
    Hunting is like crack, it's just as addictive but more expensive!
