I’ve hunted and eaten many quail-no need to any more, since there is a place out here that sells dressed and packaged farm-raised quail for a decent price-since quail is all dark meat, like doves, I don’t see how that taste could be duplicated in a chicken that is part white meat, but I’d be very interested in finding out if it can.
I prefer the dark meat from birds/poultry, because that is where the best flavor is-I’d be happy to see chickens that were all dark meat...
“since quail is all dark meat”
Not the quail I have hunted. Bob Whites & Blue Quail both have white meat on the breast. Have never eaten quail with dark meat on breast.
I have hunted quail since I was about 10. Not in recent years, quail population is very low. They think it is a microscopic worm parasite that has been killing them. Attaches under the eye lids.
Past year has seen a bit of recovery in number, but I would not shoot a wild quail now, not until they are common again.
