During and After the Dove Hunt

By Team AZOD

Field Care

It’s eight o’clock in the morning and three more birds are needed to limit out. The dove hunter is still comfortable but those birds are already cooking in the plastic liner of that Wal-Mart hunting vest.  At eleven Mr. Dove Hunter proudly walks into his suburbia home only to show off a limit of nasty.

If you want to be able to eat what you shoot then field care is imperative. There is already an ice chest.  Use it. Use those plastic bags from the grocery store so that there won’t be feathers on the Gatorade. Put the birds on ice as soon as they are harvested. Another tip is to take that empty Gatorade bottle, freeze some water in it and put it in the pouch of your Wal-Mart hunting vest.  Walla, you now have a portable mini ice chest.

Recipes

The secret to delicious dove dinners is to keep the breasts moist. Here are a few ideas:

·         Cut the dove meat into slices, ¼ of an inch thick. Brown them in a frying pan and then add your favorite stroganoff sauce and cook. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

·         Put a can of mushroom soup into a casserole dish. Fill empty soup can with instant rice, pour into dish. Fill the can again about ¾ full with water and pour into dish. Mix together, add browned dove breasts and mushrooms. Put casserole into a 400 degrees  oven and bake for approx. 30 minutes. Check occasionally and stir if needed making sure the rice does not stick on the sides or get too dry on top.

·         Wrap the dove breasts in bacon and throw them on the grill. You can marinate it over night or just add barbecue sauce.
