I love Idaho. Finished work 4:40 on Friday, was hunting by 5:40, took an hour and a mile or two to harvest a couple quail, back home by 7:20.
Before:
And after.
Quail breasts over angel hair pasta, in a creamy cajun sauce, featuring basil grown in the garden. Bacon goes with everything, right? Yellow squash from the garden, too. A little butter and salt on that. I like it natural.
Smoothbore is the Win 1300 Defender I used to harvest dinner. Probably looked funny hunting with the short barrel (and no choke,) but shots on quail are often close, and I had never hunted with it before. Belonged to my dad, may he rest in peace. Went to my brother, but he's living in Japan, so he can't have it, and told me to keep it and use it as needed. Hunting quail is "as needed." Handgun is a beloved Hi-Power clone.
Dinner was yummy indeed.
