Hunting and Hurricane Gustav

Published on September 2, 2008

I didn’t get to make my annual dove seasoner opener with my buddies this year. Several things occurred that made that happen, hopefully I’ll be back at it next year.
With Hurricane Gustav sending wind and rain my way I didn’t even try to venture out for the few local birds I’ve seen.
I haven’t gotten any [...]

Published on August 24, 2008

This was forwarded to me, I believe its from the Waco Tribune by Todd Nafe.
t’s a great time to be a sportsman. Soon, the popping of helmets and shoulder pads will be joined by the popping of shotguns and the sizzling of doves on the grill.

Fruits of Labor

Published on November 14, 2005

A little work can turn your wild harvest into mouth watering delicacy.
Ingredients:
Dove Breast (halved)
Wright’s Peppered Bacon
Philly Cream Cheese
Jalapeno (optional)
I’ve found drying the meat with paper towels to work best when assembling the dove halves. Its best to dry the meat and place in a sealed container at 33 degrees for 48 – 72 [...]
