I picked one off last autumn from my front porch just out of curiosity. I’d never eaten a wild one before. Plucked and prepared it but was quite a struggle to clean properly compared to domestic birds. Wasn’t really crazy about the taste either, ended up gamey and somewhat tough. Would probably skip the hassle next time and grab a chicken instead 😆

But they are so damn plentiful, perhaps there’s more suitable preparation menthods that would allow me to harvest a few each season and keep the meat on hand as an adddition to other dishes.
