Back in ‘79 I was on deployment with my squadron at NAS Agaña, Guam. Our P3 hangar was overrun with pigeons and since I had a pellet rifle I was asked to come down, after hours, and eradicate them from the premises. In two nights I got about 3 dozen birds, which the civilian janitors took home. I was invited to a cookout that weekend and it awesome!! Birds were cooked up several different ways and there was homemade beer and good music!

[@enterthestarsreloaded4949]

Man, you got a cool dad! I miss my dad.

[@crystalkrauser8819]

Enterthe5t4rz RELOADED sorry for your loss

[@enterthestarsreloaded4949]

crystal krauser Thanks Crystal. I just love this channel. For some reason, I get a knot in my throat every time I watch his vids. His fishing channel is just the beginning of his walk. Justin is an amazing human being. The brin tumor, the trials, everything. I lived in Texas last year in Mckinney and sometimes his vids make me wann move back. lol

[@eddiek7105]

Sorry for your loss

LakeForkGuy You should fish lake texoma this year. Not only are there giant largies but also giant stripers. Also OU all the way

[@evolutionglitch4739]

Happy New Year! Also, thanks for giving us a new video instead of just throwing together some clips for a "best of year" video.

[@wayneheath8759]

LakeForkGuy happy new year to you all as well

LakeForkGuy Happy New Year

[@That_broke_biker]

I absolutely love lfd's attitude about everything haven't even met him and i can tell hes a great guy

[@scottleggejr]

"Ring necks" is a "eurasian collared dove" and open season all year where I live so are rock doves.

[@brianarabie1667]

fun tip- use a thick piece of raw spaghetti instead of a toothpick. makes it so that you con just eat the whole thing . plus the superheated bacon fat cooks the spaghetti in the center.

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

It was below zero all day here in sw WI so stayed in. Had an excellent roast for supper. A small pork loin roast, seasoned and browned in a cast iron fry pan, the placed on a bed of rough chopped onion and fresh apple slices with some hard apple cider to keep it moist. Baked at 325 for about 23 min/lbs. Reduce the liquid after removing roast and apple and onion. Baked potatoes to go with and some atewed xucchini i tomatoes.

[@Mrsouthernsurvivor]

So funny!!!! I am a kitchen and bath remodeler and I noticed your cabinet knobs. Love the his and hers knobs. LOL

[@MoneyBass]

Lucky and blessed. Always a good time hunting and/or fishing. *Catching Bass for Cash*

[@F14Goose37]

If memory serves me right, LFD's shotgun would be a Remington Model 11, which was a John Browning design and Browning made it as the Browning A5. In the 50's Remington updated the gun and got rid of the humpback, and Savage made a copy of the updated version. I hunt with the Savage version with the aluminum receiver. It was my grandfather's gun and I had to do some research to figure out how to get it to cycle light loads like bird loads reliably. Anyhow, it is a cool gun and I'm sure LFD enjoys his as much as I enjoy mine.

[@dalewoods7308]

In Michigan they are open season all year round

[@ChrisPowellFishingTV]

One box of shells equals one dove! Sounds about like my hunting experience! 😂😂😂 great stuff love your vids!👊🏻👊🏻

[@zackdrago3258]

Make sure you're using the right choke. Definitely going to help with the longer shots

[@jrfly4307]

Alot of people do not know how tasty Pigeon really is ... Great vid guys ... Go out there and taste you some if you haven't 😁

[@allbutnone7507]

Ya know, I watched this at night and when y’all start eating,,, my mouth gets so watery

[@calebmills5365]

At our church we stay all night new years eve and we cook something called poppers. You take marinated deer backstrap, jalapeno slice and pepper jack cheese, wrap it in bacon and grill it. Trust me it is goood. The pepper is optional depending on you and your guests taste.

[@BLAM777]

I have an old Sears and roebuck 16 ga bolt shotgun. Cool old gun. Times were definitely different then.

[@ashy1423]

Nothing better than feeding the family after a great days shooting, Your dad looks a cool dude, Respect to LFD. He reminds me of my Father, I’m so glad I still have him, my best friend👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great video Justin!

[@JohnnyQuestFishing]

I saw the vid. Great food. I have a recipe I got a long time ago from a guy online and it is good.. I am posting it here so you can try it some time. I like to cook so thought you might want to try it some time.. Pigeon breast with red wine gravy, roast leeks and wild mushrooms Ingredients For the marinade • 4 garlic cloves, sliced • ½tsp picked thyme leaves • 6 black peppercorns, crushed • 4 tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil • 8 wood pigeon breasts For the gravy • 2 tbsp sugar • 200ml red wine • 2 sprigs thyme • 6 juniper berries, lightly crushed For the roasted leeks • 12 baby leeks, trimmed • 1 tbsp butter For the wild mushrooms • handful wood ear mushrooms, sliced • 15-20 wild brown closed-cup mushrooms, sliced • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped • 2 tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil • salt and freshly ground pepper Method 1. Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. 2. Combine the garlic, thyme, black peppercorns and rapeseed oil in a small bowl. Using a sharp knife, score the pigeon breasts' skin lightly and rub in the marinade - leave for at least 20 minutes. 3. To make the gravy, combine the sugar and a few drops of water in a smallish, very clean saucepan and place over a high heat to caramelise. Once the sugar melts and has gone a dark golden brown, pour in the red wine. Add the thyme and the juniper berries. Cook the sauce until it is reduced by two thirds - this will take about 12-15 minutes. Season to taste, strain and keep warm. 4. Place the leeks in a saucepan of boiling, salted water and blanch for 10 seconds. With a pair of tongs, remove the leeks from the boiling water and plunge into a bowl of ice-cold water. When they have cooled, drain the leeks well. 5. Place the leeks in an ovenproof saucepan or baking sheet with a knob of butter. Transfer to the hot oven and cook until tender - this should take about 10-15 minutes. 6. Heat a griddle pan until hot. Season the pigeon breasts with salt and freshly ground pepper and place on the hot griddle pan. Cook for just a few minutes on each side until cooked to your liking, then remove from the heat and set aside in a warm place for at least five minutes. 7. For the mushrooms, heat a small frying pan. When hot, add the rapeseed oil and fry the garlic until golden brown. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened. Be careful - the wood-ear mushrooms can pop and splutter quite ferociously. 8. Serve the pigeon with the leeks, mushrooms, and a drizzle of the red wine gravy.

[@JoseHernandez-vc9th]

Nice!! I’ve had dove the same way you cooked em’ but I’ve never had pigeon.... I’m gonna have to try that... after all, what guy doesn’t want more meat! Good job bud!

[@jordankissinger3154]

So nice to see this. Brings back many memories of my dad and him teaching how to butcher. Have had lots of pigeons and rabbits freakin awesome man👍👍

[@Bangy]

Pidgeons in my backyard: Pay rent or I'll eat ya

[@adventuresofanexpat]

I love doves so much! Looked like a great day in the field!

[@enterthestarsreloaded4949]

*We get giant wood pidgeons here in France that land right in my backyard. Think I could take one out with my pellet gun? It's sad, the pidgeons are considered a nuissance here, but there are so many rules, farmers have to PAY people to shoot them. Special licensing is required, etc. But, after watching your hunt, I'm just gonna go for it. The pellet gun makes literally almost no sound and these things land like 10 feet away from my bathroom window. I've got some wheat and corn grain for the chickens that I could put out to draw them in.*

[@audiemueller7500]

Enterthe5t4rz RELOADED I never hesitate to shoot a dove in my back yard no matter what time of year it is! Go for it brother!

[@kevinmccombs3000]

Enterthe5t4rz RELOADED yea if u have I. 22 pellet gun use it

[@brendan2386]

[@BoostedYote]

Dove is one of my favorite critters to eat yummmm I'm jealous right now.

[@VanillaGorilla502]

I was blessed to go Dove hunting in Tennessee with other Veteran's. First time and I bagged a couple. It was also my first time cooking and eating them, they are similar to steak in a way.

[@padrepilon]

Dude, your wife is really something!! Congrats!

[@logandick6096]

We always go out every September and get a bunch of doves, this year we hunted by a grainery and got quite a few pigeons to

[@basskillermurphy8187]

Pigeons is great! People should eat more of them! City folk don't know what they are missing for sure!

[@mikeh7708]

Happy new year right back at you. You need to rob a pigeon nest for the girls to try.

[@landonfarmer5983]

[@aydenericthrone6758]

Wishing you and OSG continued success and I hope you continue to live your dreams together.

[@BigBearFishing]

Awesome video Justin! That food looked so good!!

[@rabes1981]

LFD is LakeForkDad? I like that.

[@phil.paulastocks2276]

John Browning designed the A5 in 1898. He sold the right to manufacture to Remington Arms and FN of Belgium. Remington manufactured the shotgun from 1905-1947. Remington sold the shotgun as the Model 11. I have my grandfather's Remington Model 11 12 ga and it shoots as well today as when it was new. John Browning was a magnificent firearms designer. His M2 .50 cal machine gun is still in use with US troops today. Nearly 84 years after it's acceptance into service in 1933.

[@jmoutdoors5024]

His mom in the corner at 10:17 😂

[@MrSpeedysChannel]

Gotta love them old Shotguns, I've been collecting some nice old JC Higgins pumps..

[@todddarter5859]

You're behind, extend your lead and swing through. Skeet shooting is phenomenal practice and an absolute blast! Check it out.

[@thebadassoutdoorsman308]

In my opinion, the best thing wrapped in bacon is duck meat only duck meat (goose meat works too) and bacon and we call 'em duck/goose balls. everyone we say that to looks at us weird because of the name. but everyone we had try them, loved 'em and wanted more. So go out there and make yourselves some duck balls everyone

[@craigjessicariffey9504]

Awesome vid LFG. Diggin the hunt with pops

[@jasonberryman1718]

Me and my family love y'all and hope to see more of you and your family hear in North Alabama 🐡🦐🕊️🐊🐗🦌

[@josesolis45]

Next time when you cook them. Try using a regular jalapeño. Not pickled. Cut them in half. Take out all the seeds stuff cream chees in one half of the jalapeño them wrap the dove meat and jalapeño with bacon. Their so good. You could also do it with out the dove meat. Just jalapeño cream cheese bacon wraps

[@woodsandwater123]

throwback! 2020 dove hunting video....that would be awesome...

[@duanehorton4680]

Yummy, yummy, yummy I got dove in my tummy....

I am a city boy but you guys make me want so birds.

[@jeremydawson4374]

High of -6 here. Looks good.

[@Entrepreneurusa]

Cream cheese ??? Lol 😂

[@kevinjohnson1146]

Honestly I have always passed up on dove hunting because I have been told they don’t taste good. I won’t shoot anything that I won’t eat. Now I think I need to give it a try. Guess you will never know unless you try.

[@adamdavis287]

Wright bacon!! You are ballin

[@nozrep]

pigeon is traditionally called “squab” and was the primary bird used for dinner in big cities before the advent of the chicken farming industry in the early 1900’s. And now you know why “feral pigeons” are such a bad problem in big cities. The more you know! To be honest, I did not know any of this until the watched the History Guy’s video about Passenger Pigeons.

[@jenkins80526]

They are delicious. I've eaten many doves and pigeons. Coated with some flour and fried in bacon fat and you'll have a meal that is hard to beat. Fry up some taters along with these and you'll be in foodie heaven!

[@nickallegro1741]

I love fishing videos, but the hunting ones are way more enjoyable for some reason. I’d love to see you hunt more often.

[@gwwood38]

I love these videos you go out and hunt then give me a great meal idea to cook

[@cainezen31]

The perfect video. LFG gettin it and OSG cookin it.

Pigeons are served in restaurants as squab. I have a gr8 simple recipe for them if interested. BTW, I never cut the meat off the bone. Just one bite on one side and another on the other side.
