Only one week left for hunting the elusive ruffed grouse in New York State. The season closes February 28, 2013. Researchers at Cornell are collecting ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) samples to conduct nutritional analysis on the meat. This tasty, “road chicken” is not currently listed in the USDA’s National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, and therefore little is known about its nutrient content. If you would like more information on the study or to contribute a grouse, please contact mmt65@cornell.edu.
