Doves are very edible. I don't particularly care for dark poultry, but the workers on the ranch love them so I donate them and they all get processed and eaten. Not so with the jacks and the starlings.
Great shooting. I love getting a chance at collared doves and shoot every one I can. I'm not the biggest fan of game birds but they do make a good meal.
I need to find a spot like that!!!! The wife and I both lover dove.......Put a pickled Jalapeno between the two breasts wrap with bacon and BBQ YUUUUUMMMMY.....
