I have eat this bird many times and never taste it like turpentine. In Finland they eat pine needles only in winter when we normaly cant shoot them. In sveden it is allowed.
In autumn when those birds normaly hunted they eat mostly berries which is very easy to notice when finding doodoo of them. When knowing that diet its very easy to imagine that bird tastes very good when beeing shot at right time of the year.
