good for you and your dad. Having gone to SEMO and best bud was from sikeston got into some epic dove hunts back in the day where we really put it to them and had a lot of fun. As far as eating dove? nothing better IF you know how to cook them which is simply making marinade of butter, italian dressing and beer, wrap them in bacon and put em on a grill. Can't cook them past medium rare and there is nothing better.
