Opening Weekend
« on: September 01, 2008, 09:05:28 PM »
For Dove Season! Man, nothing better than going to a friends house, getting up at 6:30 and dove hunting.

We just got our 1978 Weatherby Centurion fixed and I used that. And man, me and my bro limited out in the morning...

Between us today, we got 46 (12 each in the morning, 11 each in the afternoon)

Who loves to dove hunt?  :rock :rock :rock

And these fellas are gonna taste good too!

I like hunting them but never developed a taste for them. After trying different recipes I just stopped hunting dove. It was some of the best shot gun hunting I've ever experienced.

As a migratory game bird bag limits are set by the Feds, for mourning doves its 15 each, per day......

I was mistaken on the bag limits. Depending on what state you live in, the daily bag limit can be, 10, 12 or 15 birds. If you did in fact bag your daily limit during the morning, what possessed you to go back out again during the afternoon to attempt another daily bag limit on the same day?  :O


Bag limits for migratory game birds, have to scroll down a ways to get to the regs for the mourning doves.

I'd rather shoot clays, no limit, and you don't have to clean, cook, and eat them.

Same here. I hunted them in Kansas a bit and then went to Arizona for UPT. Limit was 15 mourning + 25 whitewing.

After a few limits of 40 birds and trying a bunch of recipes I quit hunting them. They just don't taste that good to me. Took forever to eat 40 of them. Dove with eggs for breakfast, dove sandwiches for lunch, dove for the evening meal and you still have 25 left!

Dove has an interesting flavor for sure.  We usually hunt all season and have a bbq towards the end.  Breast em, stick a sliver of jalapeno in the middle, wrap them in bacon and throw them on the grill is the best/easiest way to prepare them.  For my money I would rather hunt and eat quail though… much more exciting and a tastier bird IMO.

Ever since I lost my Cayenne I have no interest in hunting birds anymore.

I guided him at a hunting club and guys would rather cancel, if we were booked already, then hunt behind another dog. I have never seen a dog that could work and pin pheasants like him. Even wild ones on windy days he could pin. And quail? It was like somthing out of a outdoors  painting.

Man I miss him.

That's the point, I think. You could stuff a jalapeno in about anything, wrap it in bacon and it would taste like anything else done the same way.

Dove has nothing really going for it. Most of the recipes are designed to hide the taste. That's why I quit shooting them.

They say every man gets one good dog.

I don't think that's true; I've had more than one good one.

You won't ever replace him but you can enjoy another one. That's why I start a new pup every time mine gets about 6 years old.
