Show Us Your Dove Recipes and Prove Anti-Hunters Wrong

Show Us Your Dove Recipes and Prove Anti-Hunters Wrong- (08/28) Michigan Join our e-mail alert list

In their quest to ban dove hunting in Michigan by ballot in November, anti-hunters have stated repeatedly that doves are not eaten by hunters, giving the impression that they are left in the field to rot.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance wants sportsmen across the country to prove the anti-hunters wrong by submitting their best dove recipe and perhaps winning a sportsmen’s prize package for doing so.

Anti-hunting groups in Michigan have created a campaign of misinformation designed to win the votes of urban-dwellers and non-hunters across the state. Within every treatise they print or email about why dove hunting should be banned, they state that doves are nothing more than live target practice. There isn’t enough meat on them to make eating them worthwhile. And in fact, they give the impression that no one eats them.

As any sportsman lucky enough to bring home a limit of doves knows, there is a reason that doves are the most popular gamebird in America. Beyond the fact that doves routinely challenge the shooting skills of even the best wingshot, they just plain taste good. Whether it’s grilled, fried or roasted, doves are at the top of the pile when it comes to good wild game fare.

In response to this falsehood by the anti-hunters the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is asking sportsmen for their best dove recipe. For a gamebird that no one eats, there sure are a lot of recipes for preparing them and the USSA wants them all.

Send your best dove recipe and it will be posted on the USSA website. Show the anti-hunters in Michigan that, in fact, sportsmen do eat doves. There are as many recipes for preparing them as there are hunters fighting to continue hunting these great gamebirds.

Send your recipes, along with name, address, email address and telephone number to info@ussportsmen.org or to Dove Recipes, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, 801 Kingsmill Parkway, Columbus, OH 43229-1137.

All recipes will be posted, along with the name and state of its contributor. All who send in a recipe will be eligible for a sportsmen’s prize package featuring a Gerber knife, a Streamlight flashlight and USSA travel mug, shooting shirt and camo and blaze orange cap.

All who contribute a recipe will be eligible. Please send as many recipes as you wish, however only one entry will be submitted in the prize drawing per contributor. Only one prize package will be awarded. The winner will be chosen, at random, on October 1.

I am all over that, especially the wine part. I bet you use a California cabernet...not French.

Look out for the yellow bellied Kofi dove and the yellow winged Kerry loon.

Mondavi.

The only thing French I eat is French toast and that's pushing it.

Pigeons are called squab. They used to sell them in the slaughterhouses in Brooklyn. Bunnies also. But no rats.

I keep hearing about squirrel. I guess those are RATS with bushy tails?

The impression that hunters don't eat doves may be due to some hunters' field-dressing practices. I've seen articles, complete with illustrations, that instruct the hunter how to quickly pluck the breast meat out of the bird. Usually, the part that is discarded looks a great deal like an intact (dead) bird.

I always toss 'em in the rubberized game pouch, when I'm lucky enough to hit 'em.

I love doves! They're challenging to shoot and easy to clean. :-)

Man, that sounds good! We normally baked them poultry style, a bit of poultry seasoning, garlic and onions wrapped in foil.

I love to cook. It is one of those things that really are worthwhile. When I go on a lasagna rampage, I usually make at least 4 lasagnas, with and without meat, and different sauces.

Takes at least a day to clean up after, though.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The top of what pile? Surely you would not seriously try to suggest that wild dove is the best tasting wild game! I cannot comprehend such a suggestion. I wouldn't trade one Bobwhite quail for a truck load of doves.
