I understand what dove hunters go through: The majority of folks just debone the chicken breasts, wrap them with bacon, and grill them. This is a recipe for the well-known dove popper, but it’s not the only thing a dove can accomplish. More options for cooking dove can be found on this recipe page.

Pigeons and doves are low-fat, dark-meat birds. Teal and other small ducks can be used in these recipes, but they will have a fat layer that a pigeon or dove will not.

Once you get the knack of plucking them, they’re the simplest birds to catch.
