Sportswoman Submits Recipe, Wins USSA Prize Package





As part of a ballot issue campaign to eliminate Michigan’s mourning dove hunt, anti-hunters argue that doves do not provide enough meat to make them worthwhile fare. To counter the claims, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) asked hunters to share their favorite dove recipes. After receiving scads of recipes, one recipe contributor has been selected to receive a USSA logo hunting prize package.

Betty Taylor of Tallulah, Louisiana submitted her recipe for Durkee Doves and was drawn as the winner of a Gerber knife, Streamlight flashlight, USSA travel mug, shooting shirt and USSA cap. Click here to view her recipe.

Betty and thousands of other sportsmen and sportswomen have discovered succulent ways to prepare doves for the dinner table. With such mouthwatering recipes, as well as a reputation for providing a challenging hunt, it is no wonder mourning doves are the nation’s most popular game bird.

Sportsmen in Michigan and nationwide are urged to help defeat the anti-hunting ballot issue. Without sportsmen’s support, anti-hunters will rout Michigan’s hunting traditions and gain momentum to fight in other states.

To address the threat, outdoor leaders formed the Citizens for Wildlife Conservation (CWC). It helps to educate Michigan sportsmen about the anti-hunting threat, and will work to beat any attack on hunting, including the anti-dove hunting ballot issue. To accomplish its goal, the group must raise $3 million.

The CWC members include the USSA, Michigan Bear Hunters Association, Michigan Hunting Dog Federation, Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), National Rifle Association, National Wild Turkey Federation and Safari Club International.

Sportsmen can send contributions to Citizens for Wildlife Conservation, 5859 W. Saginaw Hwy., PMB 341, Lansing, MI 48917.
