Dean,
I must admit, as table fare they diverge some from your "real" grouse. Mostly dark meat, and almost a sweet, but strong gamey flavor to them. I'd much rather have Mr. Bobwhite over to dinner if I had my choosing. I understand they were hunted and sold in markets in the old days. The limit now is 5, but I've never met anyone who's killed more than 1 at a time, and even that is uncommon.
