I'd like to contribute a dove recipe. Trouble is I never seem to be able to hit the little buggers. I'm death on quail, but those fast-moving little grey birds have always gotten the best of me.
Give me a nice big, bird like a goose, pheasant, or turkey, any day. I can hit them.

Dove hunting is my favorite. I'm pretty good too. I started hunting with my grandpa when I was 10 years old and that's the one hunt that I still like to go on. I like the challenge of knocking them out of the air. We've got lots of Dove in this area. In fact, I can step out into the country behind my house and scare them up most any day. Of course, there are quail too, and I like to hunt them as well. I had then and still have a 410. That's my bird gun. Bird season is coming up in September. :o)
Around these parts the best way to hunt dove is from the back of a pickup truck. just drive along a long row of corn and blast them off the power lines. Of course it isnt legal that way but I have seen it done.
The dove isnt a very big bird and about the only thing worth saving is the breast meat, but it sure is good.
