That's the way BB, glad you got them.

Glad you are enjoying the new gun.

Second what HS said, rare+ seared to medium rare doves are my favorite, once past that it loses the flavor I like.

I'd cut them off the breast for that, and just olive oil, salt, and pepper, garlic if you care, and sear them to medium rare to medium. I eat some game rarer then most, it depends if you're eating with the meek or women. I love doves whole picked and grilled or smoked with maple syrup, real syrup. Either with fresh thyme as the second or a little cayenne, separate those two. I do like them over real grits.

Good Lord, do you put carrots in your Beaufort stew as well??? You should be ashamed!! Fried or wrapped in bacon is the only acceptable way to go. You must be a damn Yank in part!!

Dove, pan-fried medium rare, over grits, with sausage and okra. It did not suck.

I thought that was sliced black olives at first.

I like the doves. I prefer, just me, no sausage.. or anything that'll overpower the food that I'm there to appreciate. That's why I dont like most of the shrimp and grits dishes around. It's okay if you have frozen miscellaneous shrimp, if you must, but if I'm eating our locals.. they'll just be a mousseline

Congratulations. My only comment is that it's shooting doves, or a dove shoot. Congratulations too on not overcooking them. Not so much on the okra.

Thank you, bubba. I'm ready for you to show me that gator trout bite.

We are going, give it another month and my creek mouths will have a few
My son caught a couple small ones last week in the main river, they will stage to the creek mouths soon and
then the big ones in any numbers will come in Feb-march at the very back of the creeks
