To prep for opening day, Steve and Ron spend a day brushing up on their shooting skills on a sporting clays course followed by a pigeon hunt. Steve shares simple, delicious cooking methods for doves and pigeons.

I've dove hunted for 30 years and I've never seen anyone pluck one like a duck. We go thumb up from under the breast, twist and pull. Takes about 2 seconds per bird, but we don't get to eat those little thighs. 2 favorite ways to cook them is whole breast wrapped in bacon and Kansas City (thin) bbq sauce on the grill, and egg/flour fried like fried chicken and then add to morel mushroom gravy and simmer. I'm definitely going to pluck some to give that a try though! Great video!
