What's your favorite wild game dutch oven recipe

Smothered venison with carrots, potatoes, mushrooms and red wine is great as well, but man, specks are hard to beat.

Not sure about favorite, but here is a fine one. I cook just about everything in a dutch oven. Assuming I'm not grilling or smoking it.

15 or so fat doves
1 great big yeller onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 bunch celery, chopped
8 oz bag of cut baby carrots
8 oz of button mushrooms, cut in half
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch parsley, chopped
2 cups or so of all purpose flour
1 cup bacon drippings
3 cups chicken stock
3 cups water (or 6 cups stock and skip the water)
1 8oz can of diced tomatoes
salt
pepper
basil


Procedure
1 Heat bacon drippings in a #12 Dutch oven. Season flour, dredge doves and brown for 4-5 minutes. Set dove aside. Add
enough of the remaining flour and make a roux. Hit it with the onions and garlic when the roux is a light chocolate color.
When the onions caramelize, add the parsley, celery and peppers and cook till tender. Stir in the chicken stock/water,
mushrooms, tomatoes, and carrots. Return the doves and push down to the bottom, breast up.
2 Lid the Dutch oven and cook at 250 for 4-6 hours. I usually build it around noon, go sit a stand or play a round of golf,
come in and eat it. Serve over rice. Sop w/ cat heads.

From the Recipe Book on the F&DB:

"Duck N Greens"

2 or 3 whole ducks, picked not skinned
1 or 2 links of good smoked sausage or andouille
3 to 4 Tbs of oil
3 or 4 whole garlic cloves
3 or 4 bags prewashed greens, turnip, mustard or both
2 or 3 turnips, peeled and quartered
1 cup water or stock
salt, black and red pepper to taste, or your fav seasoning blend
Here's a great recipe for ducks that actually produces the best tasting greens I've had. Just about to put a pot together now. Try it when you have a few whole ducks to play with.
Procedure
1 In a large Dutch Oven on stove top, place ducks, seasoned to your taste with salt, black and red pepper, in a few T of oil and brown well on all sides. Remove ducks. Add greens to pot, water or stock, sausage, garlic, and place the ducks back on top. Reseason the pot with salt, black and red pepper. Cover with a tight lid and place in a 275 degree oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until ducks are about to fall apart. The greens are frickin' money!
