Maybe a stupid,
Do you have to leave a wing on your grouse when traveling like waterfowl?
Never gave it much thought but planning on bringing some birds home from moose hunting.

Nope, but do make sure they are packed in a way that's easily identifiable to show to be within the possession limit
Multiple species that have been taken may have different bag limits. Although not required by law,retaining identifying plumage comes in handy if checked by CO's at check points.Quote:

Perfect. Thanks for the info
Wings on for me, just too avoid BS with COs.Plus a field dress is good for are other friends and less trash back at camp.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...839440c2f2.jpg

I do pluck about half my birds and roast them, as long as it's a clean shot.Quote:

The back and legs make fantastic stock!!! Just keep all your legs and backs from all game birds in a freezer bag in the freezer. Keep chicken backs and wings too if you have them. At the end of the season you make stock. I often have "4 bird stock" - chicken, grouse, woodcock, dove. It's great for gravies and soups!
Yes and I throw in the heart and gizzard in the mix.Quote:
