What's an easy way to eat a duck,dove,or goose?
 

I mean right after you shoot it. You take it home, clean it, wash it off real good, and then what? I don't want any of this stuff where you put it in a juice for like 12 hours. I mean some simple spices and stuff. Just throw it on the pan and let er go. What's an easy but good tasting way to do that?

Egg Wash Mixture? what's that? how do you do that? you mean make a bowl of this mixture, and then then just dip it in there and then put it on the stove and put flour over it or what? I am a new to cooking here. When I get done hunting I like to eat them right there and I am new to it.

Billy,
You could always chew the meat off the bones and eat it right there. I recommend investing a little time into preparing any game you worked hard to harvest. Even letting them ripen in the fridge for 2-3days before cleaning improves the flavor. These aren't necessarily the best recipes, but....
a really simple way to cook birds "au but de fusil" (at the end of the gun)...clip off the head, wings and feet. Pluck & gut the carcass. Add a pinch of salt into the body cavity. Skewer the bird and roast over a fire. You can do the same only adding red pepper into the cavity too, and roasting the bird right on the coals instead of skerwering, and have "Ndeki kuyoka"(bird-roast)a bush/village fave in Zaire.
If building a fire isn't in the plans, just season with salt & poultry seasoning, stick'em in a lightly oiled/greased pan and broil until done. Usually better to undercook them slightly.

EGG WASH IS A WHOLE EGG THAT YOU CRACK INTO A BOWL AND THEN ADD A ABOUT A 1/4 CUP OF MILK AND THEN SALT AND PEPPER OR WHAT EVER SPICES YOU WANT AND THEN BEAT THE EGG WASH TO MIX IT ALL TOGETHER THEN YOU DIP THE BREAST INTO IT AND THEN COAT IT REALLY GOOD AND THEN DIP IT INTO THE FLOUR AND COVER REALLY WELL AND THE FRY IT

Billy,
breast em out, season em up, wrap em in bacon and grill em. That's a quick way. Or you could do the whole eggwash thing but if you not sure what your doing, I'd hate for ya to burn down the house.

Cook it on a wood shingle, when its done throw the bird away and eat the shingle.
Sorry have NEVER found a way to cook one that can make these to taste good.

OK, I'm not Martha Stewart but I've found you can make just about anything taste good if you know what you're doing. I respectfully disagree with a couple posters. One don't let it age in the refrigerator if you haven't gutted it. Yes you are allowing it to add flavor, but usually that is the gamey flavor that people try to avoid. Secondly as a card carrying Microbiologist, I strongly urge you to do your best to clean the game immediately and throroughly in hopes of not contaminating the meat with bacteria. Remember the bird has no immune system once you kill it so the bacteria are going to take over, it doesn't happen in an hour but in a couple of days it will.
On the other hand many great chefs let their cleaned meat (mainly big game/farm animals) hang for a few days to allow bacteria to soften the meat. You do NOT want the gut bacteria to do this however, so be cautious when doing this. Basically don't do this, let the pros do it. Your spouse and friends will never let you live it down if you get them all sick.
Now what we've found to be the best with the above mentioned birds is to just breast the animal. Don't screw around with gutting it, just take the breast out and throw the rest out. The neck, wings and legs just aren't worth the trouble.
Now you have tons of options with the breast meat, here are a couple of favorites. One... Cut the meat into bite size pieces and brown it in either a dab of butter or a bit of oil with chopped onions and garlic salt or pepper. Once it is cooked add you're favorite pasta sauce be it homemade or from a can and heat the combination of meat and sauce. Pour this over some cooked pasta and you're set. Often times the smaller the meat pieces the better with this method
Number two... As mentioned above you can easily BBQ, fry or bake the breast in no time at all. If you have favorite seasonings, coat the meat with them. If not go to the store and get a couple shakers of different dried powdered spices. They are abundant, try southwest, herb and garlic, or cajun spices as they are usually good. Sprinkly whichever one you want on the meat and cook with whatever form of heat (grill, oven, etc) available.
Finally there are a couple of good meat marinades that take just 30 or minutes or so to soak into the meat. They often come in dry packets that you mix with oil, water, and a bit of vinegar. Marinade for as long as your time will allow and throw on the BBQ, I like to save a little of the marinade and keep it away from the raw meat, then I gently pour this on top of the meat right before I pull the meat from the grill.
A lot of people who aren't into hunting have eaten the meat from these recipes and loved it. Trial and error is a must but these are really good, easy recipes to start with.
