[Rhodes22-list] Morning Doves

[Bill Effros]

Slim,

Here on the streets of New York we call them "Pigeons".

In the fancy restaurants we call them "Squab".

A few years ago, one of the largest purveyors of "Wild Squab" was discovered under the Manhattan Bridge netting pigeons by the hundreds.

Steve and Brad  (and welcome back, Brad!)

Here in Minnesota, they've just instated a season on morning doves. [Gasp!]
You can't believe the flap this little bird is causing--pun intended.  It's
come down to a fierce argument over whether it is technically a song bird or
not.  These bleeding heart Minnesotans are too much!  And of course they
think the hunters are shooting them with...what else?  Assault rifles!  8-)

If huntin' is a redneck thing then Shit-damn, y'all!  Where's that no-good
hound o' mine?  If God didn't want us to eat critters, He wouldn't have made
'em out of meat.  Morning doves...yuummmmm!  Tastes like chicken!

Good luck this season, Steve

Slim
