Chukar would probably be number one.
pheasant
grouse
I'm sure there are some that may be better but I'm limited by what I have experienced. |

| Wild turkey from a specific area of PA. These birds feed largely on what we call "ground grapes". Of the 7 or 8 turkey I've shot, 3 have come from this area and they all have had the same flavor. The meat has a very sweet subtle grape taste to it. Delicious! |

1.Duck(pintail, mallard or Canvasback) or goose (lessor or greater Canadians) when its good and has been feeding on corn or barley.
2. Chukar - always good - but stinky to clean
3. Pheasant - always 2nd to chukar
4. Ruffed Grouse/Ptarmigan
5. Hungarian Partridge
6. Quail - though quail is very dependably good and satisfies a white meat craving - also very versatile.
7. Dove
8. Blue Grouse/Sharptail
9. Turkey
11.Prairie chicken/Sage Grouse |
