So, if somebody else kills it for ya it's ok?

FIFY.

i blew up a mouse tonight at work with an M-1000. but i don't want to eat it. :eek:

nah doves are wonderful under the hands of a good cook. properly prepared and cooked they are a delicacy!

I agree. We had some very well prepared doves at a whole hog roast where we did the hog Hawaiian style in the ground. It was all very good.

Whole hog roast Hawaiian style is the best pork I ever ate. EVER!

I'll kill it myself without a problem. I just figured a gunshot to a creature that small would yield more bits and feathers than else, especially since the eatin' part is most likely where the shot will hit since it's biggest. When you kill a cornish hen for eating, you don't blast it apart. You generally wring neck or remove head, which leaves the whole eating part delightfully intact.

I've heard that too. The Passenger Pigeon was wiped out, gone, kaput, yet I still get birdshit on my car. Obviously we have more work to do.

The spread of the shot ( shot gun , thus LOTS Of little Pellets ) is generly so wide you only get 2-3 pieces of shot Per Bird , If that

So you break only one or two teeth when you chew down :neutral:

No you eat slow and careful

so this guy goes dove hunting and gets the bag limit. he takes them home to his wife to cook for supper. while eating their scrumptious meal 1 of the 3 kids excused herself to go to the restroom. she came back and was as pale as a ghost. mom says "what's wrong honey?" she answers "i was peeing and BB's came out in my pee!" mom said "oh honey i'm sorry i was in a hurry and missed some of the shot from the birds." well a little later the other daughter excused herself and came back to the table with the same look on her face. mom said "let me guess...shot in your pee?" to which the daughter nodded. "you'll be fine honey, again i'm sorry for not getting all the shot out of the doves." about this time junior gets up from the table and returns with the same ghost look. mom again says "shot in the pee son?" he said "no mom!! i was jerking off and shot the dog!!"

Haaaaaa...
