Sand hill crane
Tasty!
Used to be able to get 4-5, then it got progliblefty status, and I think the hunt is a draw with 60% going to outta state hunters.
Emu is great, Alamogordo had a bird-driven menu in a small joint for awhile; it moved to Tularosa & eventually closed.
Lotsa big birds in that neighborhood! Tularosa must have nine ranches dedicated to producing meat birds & breeding stock.
The omelette with Jamaican * Emu and jicama slivers was AWESOME.
The girls found it unremarkable and are uninterested in future consumption...
I admit I did not become a fan or an aficionado.
I do duck once a year during the season and that's easy to prepare - last time we did it in a turkey fryer and that was well received.
Similarly pheasant or ptarmigan or Cornish game hen seems to get done annually...
Turkey a few times a year
Chicken almost weekly
Had quail once

Had a chance to shoot one once out west of Beaver, Utah. But thought better of it. I didn't know if it had gotten loose from a local Rancher or what. After getting back into town we were talking to some of the locals about it. And they said that a Rancher who was raising them, was costing him more to raise them than he was making, so he just let them loose. So I could have shot him. Now that I know that somebody just let them loose, every time I go out there hunting coyotes I keep an eye out for them. If I see another one I will shoot it
But it's doubtful I'll ever see another one, I'm sure they have all been turned into coyote food
Just joking, really.
I have eaten crow but didn't like it.
They are very tasty.
Sidewalk cafe on Acadia Island, Maine as I recall.
