Tip of the Day: Prop Open Your Birds to Preserve Their Flavor

By Jerome B. Robinson

Gamebirds and waterfowl taste best if they are drawn immediately after being shot. After taking out the innards, use a handful of grass to remove excess fluid from the cavity, and prop the carcass open with a twig so that air can circulate. Your efforts will be rewarded when the birds are served at the table. -- Jerome B. Robinson
