What is your preferred method of cleaning them?

The OP method works for me. (Let Other People do it) :lol:
My Aunt Becky says only particularly skilled people can clean a dove right and it's "not me".
Are you any good at it?

Don’t know if I’m any good at it but I’m gonna find out. Found this video and it seems pretty easy. I may attempt to save the legs though as well

I snap the wings off, tear the skin open at the breast bone and pull it off. Then put my finger under the breast bone and turn them inside out.

I've popped the breasts from scads of them as shown above, but always felt guilty about wasting the legs and became more apt to clean them as most upland birds smaller than pheasants. Pluck, cut wings, neck and butt off, ring the drumstick skin at the ankles and twist the feet off and then split along the spine to get all the innards out cleanly. (I find the intestinal juices of greens eating birds, like quail and grouse can sour the gut-hit birds' taste and want to put that last step first ASAP in their case.)

I told you op does it better. He shows up, and virtue signals his betterness. Even eats the feet n bills too..

I did it the way this video showed. Definitely looks easier in the video than it was. The trick is getting all the skin off the meat then it goes fairly easy. Found a ton this morning well a ton for around here I’m sure not for you southern guys. Hopefully everything works out so that we can get after them this evening.

I used to just search out the places the county had rock piles..pea gravel makes the best dove bait next to volcanic ash.
I did the best at a place with an ash pile.
