My son and I shot 16 Sat morning, no eurasians. We only had about 3 hours to hunt. Wife makes bacon puree and sticks it on em and we kabob them on the bbq, had a hatch pepper between each breast on the stick. Very, very good.

I keep a cooler of ice in the truck. As soon as you shoot them or as soon as possible you can put them whole on ice. All the doves I got were in great shape as I only clean once I'm home.... no or very little blood lividity. No problem that was with transportation of identification either.Quote:

This is what we did, to. So we could take pics after we were done. I have not had any taste issues keeping them whole and putting them on ice and then cleaning them after picsQuote:

We use bacon and peppers with kabobs, but none of those thin, stringy New Mexico chiles. We do a lot nicer job of peppers right here in Colorado.Quote:

I wrap them up in bacon with a slice of Anaheim and some hard cheese. Mmmm.Quote:

Bad lighting, but here is our take and the proud (and tired) pup that fetched them all. 23 between two of us. Lost another 4 that we didn't get the dog on quick or accurate enough.

we had a group of about 10 guys, we all limited in the morning on sat, sunday and monday. I did snap one pick, and will post later...All mourning dove, and it was basically hunt by water and protect the cows. from the evil dive bombers. I cannot believe how much grain those lil bastards eat when you get enough of them. All of em were full of corn/wheat/sunflowers. We were in McCook Ne...
I didn't get an exact count for the group that I hunted with, but I got my limit both on Sunday and Monday. I even used the 4-10 Monday evening to fill my limit, the shooting was just that good. One eurasion and I killed it.
We were out near Deer Trail.
(pssst...it's mourning doves, not morning. Comes from their call that sounds like a cry of mourning)
Man, I haven't hunted doves since I was in my 20's in OK! Always loved it, but we usually got skunked or only got a few. We always called them turtle doves, never understood where that name came from. Nowadays they come to my bird feeders.
