RARE!!!

I simply love antelope and have never ate it rare. But then I like even the best steak fully cooked with no pink. Then apply ketchup...

To each his own but even well done antelope is very tender and has a great flavor. Hardly ever use a knife to cut it, the forks works fine.

Last year we just bought the tags when we got to Wyoming. I was told they usually have leftover tags, we were able to buy buck and doe tags over the counter. There are so many antelope out there, anywhere you look they are there. We hunted out of Gillette.

I have only ate 3 so far, but i enjoyed all of them, quickly cleaned and skined them and straight to a cooler. I think they taste between a deer and a elk, not as gamey as deer but also not as mild as elk.

They are better eating than corn fed dear if properly cared for.

+1 for me, nothing finer. Sweet and fine grained meat.

Hi Win.308Stealth. Glad you had a good hunt near Gillette. Just a heads up. North of town not a lot of goats. Bad winter kill year before last. Cut the license's down in those units to help them recover. Good numbers South of town, but not like 3 yrs ago. Down by Casper they did better. Bruce

How are the numbers looking for antelope this year. We where there last year and we hunted south of town, and we thought (not being from there) there were plenty of antelope. We are planning on going this fall again, and any info would be greatly appreciated.
