Great pictures Mark. All game should always be cooked so that the meat is moist. I wish I could say I tasted dove, but I always gave them away to the gentleman who I hunted with. He loved them.
Dean, I hope you are picking your woodcock and not breasting them. The fat little legs have white meat and are delicious. That and the skin and fat under the skin is the only part of the woodcock that I really like. The woodcock is a very strange bird. Ears before the eyes and dark meat with white meat on the legs. I love the little fellows and I can foresee the day when I stop shooting them like my grandfather. Off season I've observed them walking around and they are a really pretty bird that struts with pride with their little tails spread.
