many years ago - a local outdoors writer - the late Floyd King wrote a column about trying to legalize dove season in NY
he asked - "what tone deaf person decided the dove was a songbird?"

Years ago the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department implemented a Dove season at the request of some hunters. When the season was introduced that summer public opinion came out ripping the Fish and Game Department for there decision. Literally a few days before the opening of the new Dove season, the Director of Fish and Game cancelled the season and then repealed it. So much for dove hunting in New Hampshire
 We just watch them on our bird feeders.

Gary, what other bird would you compare the flavor of dove breast to?

Dean, I'm not sure how to answer your question. To me, all wild birds have a taste all their own. Doves are a mild, tender, tasty morsel if not over cooked. If I had to compare I guess I might equate them to chukar. Pigeon is very close but a bit stronger in my opinion. However, an old pigeon is like chewing on a tennis ball and unfit for human consumption. I have never encountered that with doves.
So there, now you know as much as you did before. You need to try them. I don't think you will be disappointed. |
