Aged those sharpies for 5 days and just grilled the last of them medium rare. Very tender and great flavor. Hear a lot about them being tough and gamey, but thinking the aging must have really helped these. Hope to find more this year.
Yes, STs can be very good to eat. BTW, Eileen Clarke has a great upland game bird cookbook with several recipes that work well for sharptails and other prairie grouse, including sage hens. I highly recommend her excellent cooksbooks!
