Nice! Good eats right there.  I think you meant mountain chicken   either way  hope you get more, you can't have to many ruffs in the fridge

I think you meant mountain chicken

No I meant what I put. Just another name for them. Since I was little one of my dad's hunting buddies who is older in his 70's now use to always call them that so it stuck with me.

Right on! My dad and i always have called them thunder chickens too because when they flush the exploding feathers sound like thunder! Good eating birds
