The bacon and beer is always good!   The shooting is fun.   The dove taste like dung.  I've had it in South Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina and it has never tasted any better then military liver.  Yaack. You enjoy them. 

 

 

               I feel Deadstream you may be doing something wrong in the cooking process. If this is the case you probably don't like duck, goose, venison, squirrel, rabbit and other assorted wild game.  Quick overcooking is the biggest mistake on wild game. If you cook it quick the meat needs to be medium rare. Try this sometime and let us know what you think,

Haven't had dove in years, but to make them edible I used to marinade them overnight in Teriyaki marinade, then wrap with bacon and BBQ them.  

           Et tu, Quillback? 

                    Biggest mistake is over cooking game or any meat for that fact. We as consumers have to cook mass butchered meat because of the way it is treated. Wild game if not all shot up can be eaten on the rare side. If we have one shot up it is treated different than one that is not.  I have cooked dove which is mainly a seed eater, woodcock and snipe worm and bug eaters. All three of these the breast sides filled off and just slightly browned with pink to red centers. The bites were not tough or "Liver tasting". 

  I am throwing a question out there to you make it edible guys. Do you cook your good cuts of steaks like a ribeye well done to the max? If you don't but have done accidentally how does that taste compared to medium rare?

I had some dove breasts wrapped in bacon and done on the grill and it was very, very good. 

I have also had dove breasts braised and then slow cooked in a gravy. It was pretty good, but not in the same zip code as grilled.

           If you get a chance Ham do the taste test with a clean shot dove breast side to a medium rare.   I have also cooked one half of a wild turkey breast in gravy to a controlled temp. The wild turkey was a blush or pink inside the center of it. I would say that was the best wild turkey dish I have ever had. Tender too,

Agree overcooking and not properly handling game contribute to the bad rap I often hear.  My experience is I get out of it what I put into it as far as care and preparation...and I have learned to be meticulous.  The results are quite delicious, although I can’t say that I’ve rendered and stored goose fat for cooking...🤔

I can’t ever find a group to Dove Hunt with so that gets in the way of me trying various Dove breast recipes, but yeah I agree with cooking requirements largely being a result of commercial food processing
