What do you think about hunting game birds for fun and for eating offcourse?

Game birds taste good, especially when fried and dipped in ranch dressing.What do you think about hunting game birds for fun and for eating offcourse?
For the money, dove hunting is the most fun and challenge I've come across in hunting. You can find a lot of leases around here where you can dove hunt for a day for $30-50, but deer hunting is a lot more expensive (I never did the math on a price per pound, but deer hunting is probably cheaper). Another great thing about dove hunting is that you can decide at noon that you want to go, and be in the field at 5PM. Doves are a real challenge to shoot (I used to get ribbed a lot for shooting "magic" doves that the shotgun pellets bounced off of), but the hunt is worth it.

And there's nothing quite like a dove breast, stuffed with a jalapeno pepper, wrapped in bacon, on the grill. Mmmmmmm
I do not hunt for fun. I eat what I kill. I do not think it is right to hunt game birds and not eat them. I mean here in Michigan Phesants are kinda low in numbers and to just waste one is a mistake. I love the challenge of going and watching the dogs..the main reason to even go it to watch the dogs..and to talk to your friends. Also a recheck on what I said above. I do hunt for fun otherwise I would not be going...what I meant to say is I hunt for fun but eat what I hunt. No one will know the thrill of hunting unless us as hunters take them out and show them what they have been missing. To hunt grouse is such a great thing...even getting slapped in the face by small trees, and prickers and the such...What do you think about hunting game birds for fun and for eating offcourse?
My family and I go out on weekends from August to December and hunt grouse and ptarmigan - we eat everything we take. Some birds - spruce grouse and ptarmigan have a red meat and make a great stew. Other grouse - blue, and ruffed - are very much the Cornish game hens you find in the store.



We do not hunt for 'fun'. It is enjoyable to be in the woods and have the family with you........ but nobody is getting their kicks by killing anything. That just not cool. I would have a good long talk with my kids behind the wood shack if I saw this .......... and I don't go hunting with anyone who does.



Hope this helps.What do you think about hunting game birds for fun and for eating offcourse?
What is to think about? I do it all the time when the season is open. Grouse, Ducks, Geese, used to live near Dove and Quail.
It's not fun



Well ok, I do enjoy it.



I always start my hunts with a prayer and end them with a few moments of silence in respect for the lives I have taken.



Then I enjoy the bounty laid before me.
Doves and ducks give my retrievers and I our best days afield doing something we both love. Turkeys give my sons that rare time to say I got something a dad didn't shoot nothing. I always have to do the calling.Ha Ha
Love it, its fun, develops reflexes, hand and eye coordination and taste good too. ;-)
i think it's fun, it's good eating, is good for the game bird population.
Quail is the funniest and the best eatin
