Ya Big Tree Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Take a jalapeno pepper and cut it in half and take out the seeds, lay a piece of cheese (I like to use Cheddar) in side and wrap a dove breast around that. Wrap the whole thing in a couple slices of bacon and hold in place with a tooth pick and put it on the grill over medium heat. When the bacon is crispy they're done. Tree edited: I haven't gone dove hunting yet this season, but I'm craving them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree edited: I haven't gone dove hunting yet this season, but I'm craving them now. That's exactly how we do them. About 18 years ago I was sitting on a plastic bucket with 3 limits of doves to clean. I had just gotten started when a little voice ask me "Could I do that?" My 7 years old grand daughter and I sat on buckets and cleaned doves. She cut the wings off with a pair of dykes. Folks, it don't get much better than that!

Tom Bullweed Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Common southern methods: 1. Wrap the breast with a strip of bacon and pin it with a toothpick. Grill it with occasional dabs of your favorite sauce. Mine is a mix of lemon juice, pepper and green chiles. 2. Dove breast pie. Just like a plain chicken pot pie but with dove breasts and chicken gravy. Parboiling the breasts before baking the pie keeps them soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Cleaning Dove - memories that will last a lifetime. This was last night. Beautiful sunset, spending time with the family.

Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Shoot! It'd be cheaper for me to genetically engineer them from a European Species, raise at least 5 generations, and only eat ONE of them. . . the small one. . . than it would be for me to shoot at 'em.

But I think next year I'm gonna spend some time at the trap range before the opener... them li'l grey rockets had the advantage yesterday! Uh... anyone care to share a recipe or two? Hardpan, this helps a bit, but for dove a the start of the upland bird season, we have found we also need more passing shot practice. Sunday at our trap club (the day before the dove opener), we set one trap up for doubles and, with our 20 or 28ga dove guns shoot 50 pairs from different crossing angles - NONE from the normal trap pad - most are postions even with the trap house or out in front, off to the sides. Just to add spice, we have 5 man squad "teams" and bet against each other. Makes for a fun day before the opener. It really helps both sharpen up your crossing shots, and get used to handling your lightweight hunting gun again (especially if you shoot trap). Caution, it can start off a bit humiliating at first..... EDIT to add that we call this "GOOFY DOUBLES". We also do it on New Years Day, but with 12ga trap guns.

About five or six years ago - he was in high school at the time - I asked him if he was going to use it. "Nope... gonna stick with my 16." So I asked if I could use it. "Of course ya can, Dad!" Well the Kid and his buddy wander off to the other side of an orchard, while his buddy's dad and I staked out spots on our side. When they wandered back about 45 minutes later, he was surprised to see a pile of doves at my feet. "What the... who shot those?" Why, I did, son! With YOUR .410! Wanna give it a try? "Well... Sure!" I handed him the gun, he loaded it, a grey rocket buzzed by and Bang! fell on the other side of a "bobwire" fence, but easily retrieved. He was impressed. But for some reason never shoots it. Still prefers his Model 12 16 ga... even though with the full choke "it's like tryin' to shoot doves with a rifle, Dad." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
