Antelope - how does it taste?

[zuren1cs]

Three hunting buddies and I will be hunting antelope in WY at the beginning of Oct. My roommate (an avid hunter) claims that antelope doesn't taste very good. I've never had it. I hunt whitetail deer in MI and thinkthe flavor is fine.

I know the flavor of wild game can vary due to food sources, time of the rut, age of the animal, aging and care of meat and ultimately preparation, but I'm just curious to know if the general sentiment is that antelope just doesn't taste very good?

Thanks!

that says it all. I'm no expert having only tried one roast a buddy gave me. It was good. I too have heard they are sage flavoured or gamy, but the one I tried you wouldn't tell it from a nice venison roast. I guess what I am trying to say try it you might like it

I've been wondering this too. I've had snake, alligator, kangaroo, and deer, and so far have like all of them. I've wanted to try antelope, elk, and caribou.

In my opinion it is not nearly as good as venison or elk..

Among the members of my family we probably get somewhere between 6 and 10 antelope per season, every season for the last several decades. My sister can look out the back door of her house and see them every day.
Quote simply, they are what they eat. If you get one that just stood up, eats winter wheat and grain and hasn't been stressed to near death they can be quite good. If you get one that eats sagebrush, has run miles eluding hunters, been thru a severe winter they taste like soured grass.
I have about 10 lb. of meat left from last years you are welcome to try.

I would suggest "not chasing them", not shooting the oldest one in the herd and getting as close to farm land as your license will allow.

Marinade over night in Coca Cola.
Cook medium rare the next day.

If you have a recipe for ceeder plank carp, I would do the same thing.

I think they are one of the best game meat there is, but maybe I am just an super cook. I always take my limit when I go. And eat every bit, wife, and 7 year old daughter love it to
