As my father used to say when we lived in southern Wisconsin about the deer... they are all corn fed. They eat better then the cows! And those deer in southern WI would melt in your mouth if cooked properly.
Like I said, I was invited to an antelope feed. And they had roasted it in the oven. To me it tasted like sage and old cabbage. Needless to say, I smiled and ate a very small piece. Now my friend, he loved the stuff.
