OK my turn to rain on "hodad's " parade. One of the best things about Grouse or upland hunting if you time your shoot to coincide with a berry crop. Not only do the birds not taste like their Winter feed of spruce needles or in Ptarmigan, willow buds, they acquire the flavor of the berries. But here is the real sport. Watching the dog hunt and retrieve or just enjoy the days afield, the birds are so much easier to pack out than a Moose. See "hodad" some real reason to hunt your dog and eat birds around berry patches. And moose tastes just like the branches it eats as well.
