Here in Michigan we call them Bob Whites because of their call. They’re becoming rarer because of the return of the turkeys which have all but eliminated the asian pheasants.

Now if you really want to get confused go up to St Ignace Michigan and argue the correct terms of Mackinaw and Mackinac. Before long someone will double down and throw a Michilimackinac into the mix.

How so?

Partridge or grouse, which is correct? As a kid growing up in northern MI, we called them partridge
