A question and a thought. I've not hunted nor gotten to try antelope on the table. How is it ? Have heard of it being made into sausage. I'm thinking if your lady and you both tag elk too, gonna need another freezer !

bulasteve,
I'll answer for my wife and I. I avoided Pronghorn for years thinking it would taste like mutton, but we had it a couple years for the first time and I have to tell ya, I was VERY WRONG in my assumptions. My wife is not a huge fan of venison and some other game meats, but aside from Eland and Kudu, the Pronghorn my buddy made us was some of the BEST meat we've ever had an opportunity to eat. It was fantastic and I've been squirreling away WY preference points since in hopes of getting out there in the near future. If you have a chance to hunt/eat antelope, don't pass on the opportunity.
All the Best,
Mike

It depends a lot on what they eat like everything else.
Sage bucks taste like.....well you can guess.
These goats eat grass, no sage.
I made some curry from one of the backstraps last night and it was awesome.
Pepper steak tomorrow night and antelope with NM green chili with chicos on Saturday night from the shoulders.
Since you usually hunt them when it's fairly warm (in NM anyhow) it is sooooo important to get the skin off them and get them iced down ASAP just like anything else but maybe even more with the antelope.

And don't drag it like you would a deer. You will be disappointed when you get to your truck etc and realize only one side of the critter still has hair

I was amazed at how good properly cared for antelope meat tastes. My youngest son works at one of Denver's high end restaurants and after taking my buck last year we drove out to see him and I took several packs of back strap and tenderloin on dry ice and delivered them to his executive chef. He prepared a meal for eight of us that was better than anything any of us had ever had before. I can not tell you what all was included due to the number of courses but even the died in the wool grocery store meat scavengers at the table were floored by the meat from that buck antelope taken in the heat of the late summer. Like mentioned, food sources and just as importantly animal care and being prepped with coolers, ice blocks and clean gam bags make all the difference.
