ROAST OF INCREDIBLE GAME BIRDS WITH PROPER POLENTA
This Italian-style extravaganza is a luxury version of a Sunday roast. Use whatever game's available, or combine game birds with everyday chicken. If you give your butcher some notice, he can get you almost anything that's in season and prepare it for you!

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to full whack about 500 degrees F.
- Either ask your butcher to spatchcock the guinea fowl or chicken, and the pheasant for you, or have a go at doing it yourself. Turn the bird upside down and cut underneath the legs with a good pair of scissors. Remove the bony part of the carcass that has no meat on it (bearing in mind that you want to save the incredible meat around the legs) and open the bird out like a book. You can then stuff the cavities of the other birds with flavorings - a sprig of rosemary, a sprig of thyme and a little orange or lemon zest.
- Place the onion, celery and carrots in a large roasting pan (or 2 small ones) and lay the sausages and birds on top. Throw in the bay leaves and the rest of the thyme and rosemary. Drizzle with olive oil and massage it into each bird. Season all the meat generously. Place in the preheated oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 350 degrees F. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, turning the birds a few times, until the meat is juicy and cooked through to the bone.
- After half an hour, bring 1 quart of salted water to the boil in a non-stick pan and whisk in the polenta. Turn the heat right down, place a lid on so it's ajar (otherwise the pan might spit hot polenta at you!) and simmer for 50 minutes, stirring it as often as you can. If it starts to become too thick, add some more hot water.
- Remove the birds from the oven, lift them out of the pan and keep warm. Put the pan on the burner, pour in the wine and simmer gently to make a quick sauce. Then see to the polenta - it'll need some serious perking up now. Stir in about 3/4 of the butter and all the grated Parmesan. Once smooth, taste and season if required. It should now be delicious! Spoon all the polenta onto a big board or platter, spread it out evenly and put to 1 side to firm up a little.
- Give your sauce a stir and add the rest of the butter. Strain it through a sieve into a pan, pressing down hard. Cut the bigger birds into drumstick thighs and breast pieces and place with all the other birds on top of your polenta. Slice the sausages and add to the pile. Spoon the red wine sauce over the top and finish with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Put the board in the middle of the table and let everyone dive in. A fantastic feast!

CORNED GAME BIRDS
I find that after hunting I am expected to prepare whatever delicacies the boys have brought home. This recipe can make even the toughest game bird into lean delicious corned lunch meat (like corned beef!). This recipe will do about 8 grouse or ptarmigan about 10 pounds worth. Also works with rabbit!

Steps:
- Bring all ingredients to a boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Take 2 1-gallon Freezer zip-top bags and place 5-6 pounds cleaned and skinned birds into each bag.
- Pour 1/2 cooled brine mixture into each bag.
- Get out as much air as possible and seal bag. I place each bag into a second bag just incase it gets a leak.
- Put in refrigerator for 5-7 days turning bags every day.
- Remove and drain liquid.
- Cook as you would corned beef. Place brined birds into a large pot with fresh water and boil on low for at least 30 minutes. The longer they cook the more tender the meat gets.
- Serve hot with boiled potatoes and cabbage or chill and pull pieces off and use them like lunch meat.

THE 10 MOST DELICIOUS GAMEBIRDS AND HOW TO COOK THEM
From fieldandstream.com
Author Phil Bourjaily
- Canada Goose. Not just any Canada goose. It needs to be a corn-fattened, late season giant Canada of the type we very conveniently have in reasonable abundance not far from the house.
- Ruffed Grouse. Tender, almost sweet, ruffed grouse meat is as good as white meat gets. Recipe Idea for Ruffed Grouse: Pine-Smoked Grouse with Butternut Squash Purée.
- Bobwhite Quail. Everything true about grouse is true of bobwhites—except quail are smaller and easier to come by where I live. I’d also rather hunt quail than almost anything.
- Sharptail Grouse. Someone once asked me if my wife was outdoorsy, and I said no, she’s indoorsy, which made it all the more surprising when she took one bite of a sharptail I brought home and said, “I’d hunt for these.”
- Mallards and Pintails. The one pintail I brought back from a hunt near Sacramento a few years ago was the most delicious and decadently-fat duck I’ve ever eaten.
- Wood Ducks. Once wood ducks start hitting the acorns or the cornfields, they are pretty hard to beat on the table. Recipe Idea for Wood Ducks: Duck, Date and Rutabaga Pot Pie.
- Wild Turkey. Having shot all four sub-species, I’d have to say they were uniformly excellent. Turkey is a great “gateway” bird to serve to people who don’t think they like wild game because it tastes just like a domestic turkey, but richer and better.
- Mourning Dove. Each mourning dove carries with it two delicious bites of steak-like breast meat. Whether you believe the necessity of shooting lots of doves to make a meal is a glitch or a feature of these birds is up to you.
- Ringneck Pheasant. I want to rate pheasants higher than ninth, because they are the birds I hunt the most, and I like eating them very much, but they can be a bit chewier and coarser than other upland birds.
- Bluewing and Greenwing Teal. Teal are among the best eating ducks of all. If only they weren’t so tiny they would rank higher. Cinnamon teal, I’m told, are not so good to eat.
