Basic Fried Dove

Description:
The Alabama dove season kicks off in September. Since it's still hot and humid during that time, Bolton recommends that hunters take along a cooler with ice to hold their birds during the day. The measure prevents spoiling and keeps insects away, too. Mourning doves are a smallish bird with a dark, rich meat. They are so small that the breast is your best bet for home cooking.
