RE: dove?
hold the bird belly up(the back in ur two hands) put ur thumbs on the peak of the brest..apply pressure push down and outward..this will rid of the skin and feathers..Then you move to the bottom of the breast (say it looks like a heart..bottom point). Stick ur thumb up there once the feathers and skin have been removed..Pull ur thumb up and rip out. u should have the heart and some of the organs on the rib cage side of the breast..dispose of those.. Soak it in water and clean them off.. then put in a tup a wear with salty water and freeze until ready to cook.. It also makes it much easier to snap the wings off the very first step..some people usescisors but i just snap em off.. Good luck and good huntin'
