Commissioners, I wanted to reach out to your prior to this week’s Commission meetings in Panama City Beach. I wish I could be there. I tried. I pushed hard. I’ve been to the past 4-5 meetings, but, as a full-time waterfowl guide, this one was tough to pull off. See, I have a client flying in to hunt the day of the meetings from out of state. This gentleman has harvested 42 species of waterfowl, and only needs the Florida mottled duck to complete his slam. We’ve planned the hunt since June. If everything goes according to plan, there will be a celebration in a Central Florida Swamp Tuesday morning,…

Bacon Wrapped Dove
Anything wrapped in bacon is good, right? The answer is a resounding “YES,” but especially when it comes to dove. I’m willing to bet that most doves killed in the US get made into some form of jalapeno popper (not that there is anything wrong with that), but these little birds are so good in so many different ways!

Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 20-30 min Oven Temp: 350 Ingredients: 6-8 dove breasts 3-4 strips…
