Been there, done that. It was a fun time. I was wet wading too. A trout on the dropper ran btw my legs and stuck a size 10 GBHE in my calf. You notice the desperate tugs of a fresh rainbow more when they are attached to your calf.
I was fishing Barbless so it was no big deal at all.
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
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.
I bought 10 acres across the street. We are moving my wife’s parents up from East Texas so we can help them as they get older.
we cut in a track for the dwelling and a driveway. Not a full lumberjack day. Probably only 10-15 trees and most of those small.
Two more trees to take down and some clean up work today. We made a lot of progress though.
You can do anything you want I suppose, but my understanding was that it was a special lube in that system that was biphasic. A gel that got less viscous at higher temps, but maybe I dreamed all that up.
I do want to hear how all this plays out
