Collared Doves

well done, they're awesome birds

its like cleaning a duck...huh?

wait till you try to break those wings off....lol...get some heavy duty scissors. What beretta are you using? I have a silver pigeon 28/20

I have the Extrema 2. I won it, 1400$ gun = free :biggrin:

actually, they way we started doing it is filleting the breast meat off the bone. No wing clipping etc. Try it out.

right on...sweet deal and good idea.

What's your dove recipe?

my #1 way is to wrap bacon around it, garlic salt em, and throw em on the grill. Med. rare. you over cook it you got nasty jerky.
#2- spoon off meat, take a slice of green chili, some cheese, sandwich it between the two pieces of meat, wrap with bacon, spear with toothpick. throw on grill. Sucks to spoon off alot of birds, but tastes great when dipped in cocktail sauce. Cocktail sauce- spicy mustard, ketchup,whorestichire(however you spell it)

I had no idea the season on Collared's was year round. Hmmm


"Collared doves

Both of these birds have been taken incidentally by hunters during dove season. As Eurasian numbers increased and became more common the first official season for them was established in 2006 that ran concurrent with the regular dove season. This was expanded in 2007 to be a year round season with an unlimited bag as neither bird is covered under the jurisdiction of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The discovery of the persistent populations of African Collared Doves was fairly recent, so they too will likely be added to the regulations with the same season as Eurasians in 2009."

and no limit!

way to go man i got a couple collard today man there big a$$ dove my dad shot one and almost caught it with his hand right out of the air i think second hunt is going to be killer.
