Thanks ABB. I do have a pup, so I will try and hoof it around. I just have a hard time determining what is crown and what is private over in AB. I will probably give it a go though. Thanks and best of luck to all.

You guys cook the breast up whole? I always cut it up and fried it in a pan with some shake'n'bake.

I cut it up into chunks & dip the pieces in an egg, flour, sea salt, & spice batter & serve it with scrambled eggs, texas toast & some maple baked beans. Gawd, I just drooled all over the keyboard typing this out. Next week baby .... so look out thunder chickens & enjoy the last few days of your lives!

Most excellent, ABB :) I've been known to pack the Coleman stove along and after picking off a feed of chickens, it's out with the frying pan and fresh grouse breasts fried up in butter for "shore lunch".

Just about perfect BCB. Try adding a tablespoon of orange marmalade and I think you are there!

don't feel bad.. I've been hunting out of a 2008 dodge grand caravan LOL ! ...... But this year I was given an old beater truck...... By the mother in law when she bought her new dodge ram. It has 500,000kms on her.. Runs likes a top and looks like crap.. Was maintained by the motherinlaws ex husband mechanic. 1992 GMC with 5 speed manual. bring on the moose. :)

I forgot the liver. For qawdsakes don't forget the liver. Absolutely delicious! Dice it with onions & then fry it in a little olive oil or butter. I mince it the pan with my maple baked beans ... but it's just as good straight up.
 
We leave for our moose hunting trip on sunday morning early...bit of a drive and then to haul camp in. Hopefully be able to get a few ruffies and make our traditional moose camp ruffy dish. I had a friend that never had it before a few years back and he was like a dog chasing his bowl all over licking ther pot clean....it was funny...we still chuckle over it.

Made the dish last year, but the 2 years before that the ruffies were on the low side.
We still bring the ingredients each year.
 
The grouse population seems to have taken a serious dive around my parts. I've been out a 1/2 dozen times and have seen 3 grouse.

I think the extremely wet spring/summer might be to blame.
