First off, are they really like a good home grown beef ribeye? Second where are good places to hunt them, I cant here in Nebraska, because when they show up here we get flocks of people from everywhere that bring there wallets. But I am interested in going on a hunt somewhere, just not sure where that is. Would prefer midwestern states as I can drive there.

I have hunted them for years in N.D. For a starting point I would hunt around Long Lake national wildlife refuge by Moffit N.D.. We would pass shoot them and did pretty good on them. We have also decoyed them with good success. About the middle of Oct is the best. I liked taking my kids there when they were off school for teachers convention normally the 3 week of Oct.
And no not a ribeye in the sky. We breast them out and ground them into pepper sticks.

Braska just be sure and shoot the brown shaded birds, the juveniles. There is a huge taste difference between them and the prettier all grey/silver adults. I have killed scores in our Sask camp and eaten a lot. Fix them simply and make sure you do not overcook them. To me they are far and away better tasting than any bird that flies and yes very much like rib eye.
Well better than all but eagle maybe, but people sure get wound up when you bring a limit of those in.

Was down in the panhandle of Texas a couple years ago, east of Amarillo, there were thousands of them there, maybe tens of thousands. Yes. I used to guide some guys from that area on pheasant hunts up here. They hunted them a lot and said the panhandle of Texas was the go to place for a great hunt.

We shot them In Manitoba. WI Is talking about getting a season here. But I think It's going to be tough to get It approved.

Osky I think they taste kinda like a cross between a baby harp seal and a California condor!
