We gutted / plucked all dove growing up. Mom fried them whole, probably one side at a time. Always had potatoes, pintos and gravy with them. I never knew there was another way til I got to college. First time I breasted a dove around my Dad he about had a heart attack because I was "wasting all that meat."
Same here. ...many "city folk" were not invited back to hunt if they were seen breasting a bird back in the old days. I still pluck them and keep the hearts and gizzards. When I prep them to fry, I'll remove the legs and take the breasts off the bone. Then dust in flour and fry. The fried legs with necks connected fry up great. The necks get crispy and we eat them too. Occasionally, I'll toss the fried breast nuggets in wing sauce to change things up. But the legs are my favorite.

She loves the legs, still asks me to pick a couple when we hunt and always want the turkey neck at Thanksgiving.
Shoot. Eat. Repeat.

Alright, you’re gonna have to explain to me how the legs attach to the neck.

Alright, you’re gonna have to explain to me how the legs attach to the neck. I have to go through the process here to explain it…. First step is to pull off the head and pull out the craw. After the bird is plucked, you take game shears and snip off the tail. Then you run the scissor up the cavity and cut it right up the back bone.. Then you open the cavity and pull out the guts. Now you have a carcass that looks like a miniature whole chicken. The legs attach to the back bone as does the ribs and neck. The ribs and neck both crisp up when they’re fried. Good eats!

Fried was the only way I knew growing up. Now I like to marinate in Italian Dressing with the jalapeño and bacon.
Character is what you do when nobody's looking.

Fried them. Tossed them in Buffalo sauce and some in bbq sauce for the kid. They were great. Wife and kid loved them. Super tender and delicious. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/09/full-15111-362737-aa85af4b_56aa_412b_9bed_29d15b7ba1ef.jpeg)
