Fall 2014 Dove Hunting Pic Thread

Chicken fry them, 1000 times better than bacon wrapped.

Tuff doing work. His first retrieves 100% by himself. The light went off/on today.

Just battered in flour? Any seasoning added? Looks great.

Flour, then egg/milk wash, then back in the flour. Season with salt/pepper. They are really outstanding.

That dog is stout

Thanks. He's half Vizsla and half Lab. He's five months old and 43 pounds, need stop growing soon or I won't be able to afford his food.

Very good looking dog and thanks for the idea of chicken frying the birds!

Everyone tends to go Jalapeño, bacon, cream cheese when they think of dove and I have to admit I have too so I'm very interested in other ways of cooking them.

Need to get Vaquero to tell the story about the dove fajitas.

 

[Vaquero]

Or dove 'n dumplings.

Yum!

And +1 on the chicken fried dove. My grandma did that as well and added cayenne. We would often eat it with fried catfish. And use tarter sauce on both. Yeah yeah, I know.

My grandma was big on frying em up too.

I like em every which way.

Me too. And, if they're not destined for a gumbo, I also "chicken fry" duck and goose breast the same way, using the same type seasoned batter.

If doves are going in a gumbo, I use the dove breast with breast bone; duck and goose in a gumbo, the whole bird cut in quarters.

If ducks, doves and geese are being chicken fried, I filet the breast from the bone of all three species before frying.

Likewise with venison back strap - sliced crosswise about 1/2" thick, tenderized slightly with a tenderizer hammer, and chicken fried the same way as the above is a good way to entice folks who normally won't eat venison.

I like my fried deer blackstrap with some fried dough balls my mom makes. Need to get her recipe for the dough balls.

 

[deemus]

Where is the blackstrap located on a deer? hehe

 

[Chupacabra Hunter]

Here

 

[deemus]

Ha !

Roughly the same location the Angus on a cow is.

 

[TXARGUY]

Right between his asshole and his breast.

 

[Mexican_Hippie]

On either side of the spine.

Hot Damn!!! - got an invite to go next weekend after next (after Hicksville of course) to South TX. Going down Thursday - get to hunt the afternoon, Friday and Saturday morning. Get to play with some pointers too, trying to get them steady on quail - no shooting yet. Apparently they've got more than they have in years. FIL went down last weekend and said, just driving around, they flushed 6 coveys in an hour.

 

[orbitup]

I am going to fry some up too. I was thinking about soaking them in buttermilk and hot sauce for a while first.
