Shot a mess of Specks this weekend in Arkansas and never cooked them or hunted them for that matter. What are some good recipes? We did some in a brown gravy Saturday night at the camp and it will be hard to beat that.

The only way you can mess up specklebellies is by over cooking them. They dry out very easy but you can eat those tasty bastards medium rare.

Cut into thin strips.
Marinade in sweet and sour sauce for an hour or 2
Batter them up in your favorite seasoned flour
Lightly deep fry

Serve with hot Tabasco pepper jelly over the top

Brown em good
stuff them w deer sausage and a wedge (almost half dependingo n orange size) and add water/stock
Baek until you can pull em apart with a fark when poking them.

After that, I put pot on stove to finish the gravy after taking the birds out.
Throw away the oranges. I then completely debone all of the meat of the birds.

I put the sausage and all the meat back into the pot and serve that wonderful pot of mess over a full plate of rice.

*oranges---or any ingredient are optional. I did it for Christmas and the women all agreed it was the best theyve ever eaten. I sweetens the flavor and helps with those who don't always enjoy the wilder taste.

Also, feel free to inject the birds with a merinade of choice.

Just cant mess them up unless you overcook!

Sorry just seeing this Hebert. Yep, I would hope I killed some skeet, since I brought the thrower
