When I bird hunted I was famous for my 35 dove stew at deer camp every year. Crock-Pot, bone and shred the meat up ahead of time, make a big pot of it with all the stuff. Excellent. Rip some bread....oh ya.
I had bird dogs pretty much my entire life and my buddies. I'm done with that and quit hurting dove, quail and pheasants. It's not the same with out dogs, that's the best part of it.
