Why specify that it was dog hunted? Only time I’ve been in a large enough group of hunters to actually cover the field without dogs I almost got friendly fired because that was too fuckin many people.
Squirrel is also pretty tasty. We haven’t done it in a while but squirrel and yellow rice has been a dish of ours in the past. And likewise, they are an absolute nuisance here.
Hunting quail is absolutely an upper class thing. That why rich people spend 10s of thousands on shooting suits and go out with their pure breed hunting dogs and antique shotguns.
I’ve never met a single poor person that has ever gone on a shoot, much less for quail.
You don’t know any rednecks? I’ve only gone shooting with other poor people. And quail are everywhere where I live, so they become one of the many things we shoot.
I haven’t had wild turkey in a long time so I can’t compare, but, IMO, it has a very slight game flavor but not in a bad way. Enough to give it a unique flavor profile of its own apart from chicken without overdoing it.
That they might be a bit more tender depending on which dog caught (and handled) the bird after the flush and shoot 😅 We took our dog hunting over the weekend with some family and this was the result after a little bit of prep and brining.
Normally (as in on a day-by-day basis), no. However, we do hunt and fish a few times a year in spurts depending on the season and if we participate in it we make use of the catch so it’s never wasted.
Some of the legs were either a bit small to keep, or may have been peppered by the shot so we didn’t keep them all. I won’t deny that one of the chewy dogs may have had their chance with one of them when retrieving, though I can’t say that was for sure the case here.
