Nice animals. How do they taste? I've never hunted them mainly because I like to eat what I kill and never had antelope meat

Antelope meat is almost as good as Elk meat in my opinion and is definitely several notches up from deer meat.

My dad and I each harvested our first antelope this past week in Wyoming. We hunted with Erick Mares at High Pines Outfitters and couldn't have had a better experience. My dad harvested his at 340yards with my 30-06 shooting 150gr TTSX. Mine was 254yards with my 260 with 120gr TTSX.

What great couple of goats, congrats.

Oh those memories. Dad and I have harvested back to back bucks and turkeys and hunted together for several years. He is almost 88yrs. old now and hasn't been able to hunt for about 5yrs now. He started taking me hunting at the age of 10 and I haven't stopped yet at 68. The memories are priceless and I care for him along with my 2 brothers. The last deer he harvested was an old drop to be buck offhand while sitting on a 5gal bucket at 216yds at the edge of his yard. What made that extra special was he was shooting a custom Swedish mauser I built for him from a 96 dated 1916. Oh how sweet it is!

We made chili with the deer, antelope and our garden veggies over a camp fire last night. My boys (3 & 1 y/o) love campfires so it was something fun to do together while getting dinner made. Couldn't pick up any distinct flavors though. Look forward to throwing some steaks on the Traeger and getting a real taste of it.

Don't know yet, only had it in chili so far and it was inert in flavor. May as well be beef. I'll report back once I get a better ID on the flavor.

Sorry, failed to send pictures of that custom Swedish mauser I built for Dad. It was a labor of love. He preached the gospel for 50+ years and I'm blessed to still have him.

If you'll mix it 50/50 with pork it makes fantastic tamales and decent sausage.

Antelope tend to be very low fat animals and thus the meat kind of dry, adding pork solves that problem.

Beautiful work, you should both be proud. I have a friend in ABQ that is a custom stock maker, so I recognize good work.
