True, as long as it is knowledge or resolving something accurately. I'm making that difference because your past experience with bad game is more of a negative psychological link to game vs understanding how it can be incredibly palatable, IMO.
I gotta say, all my lope are from eastern CO field with milo, corn, etc. and I've never had a sage lope but for years, folks have asked me, "do you actually eat them pronghorns?" due to having an experience with something either not properly taken care of, or was just due to diet. It's like folks that say some hogs just taste BAD.
Nicely done, FEENIX! That's one royal meal.
Well said, I appreciate the support.
The sagebrush lopes are still palatable, just taste gamier but my sons and I still eat them.
Cheers!

I've seen numerous people drive around for hours with antelope just sitting in their truck beds in the sun. They're typically the guys that say all that antelope are good for are sausage(need lots of seasoning to cover up the flavor). I prefer to get them skinned and on ice in less than an hour. I definitely enjoy them more than elk. Proper meat care goes a long way.
Yep! We normally make it home or in the processing place in less than an hour.
None. You contributed to my knowledge. I pray that is acceptable to you...
Fair enough! I have had bad tasting food (wild game and non-wild game) throughout my travels in the US and abroad but it does not stop me from trying them again. Some meat/cuisine are just prepared and cooked by others better.
I too pray that you ovecome this 5+ decade psychological challenge.

You might consider this crude, but I cannot help myself, so apologies up front. Have you ever gone to a restaurant and thought the food so bad you will never darken their doors again even if they have a good reputation? I know I have. But you still go out to eat and I'll bet you would order the same thing at a different place and like it. I know I have, and beef steak is a perfect example. Wild game is better than anything you can buy in the store if it is butchered, stored, and prepared properly. This is a fact. Think about what you just may be missing out on.

Indeed! I've tried some outright awful things in my own travels; the two worst being Durian (Malaysia) and Andouillettes (France). Both made me want to vomit (especially the french sausage - they taste like something that'll probably break a rule on here), but I'll give them both another shot. Maybe I had bad examples of them...who knows, they could be delicious!

In the words of my friend FEENIX....
I would highky recommend you try wild game again. It is some of the most delicious meats there are, just need to be prepared correctly.
What do you have to lose?
I grew up eating raw venison, literrally raw and still eat it to this day, its just so good. It happened by accident, my dad was cutting some up for a dish he was preparing and I just grabbed some and started eating it, I was about 3 or 4, and I've been doing it ever since, think of it as the sushi of the woods or desert, take your pick.
Just cut a steak in bite size pieces with a good red wine or hefweizen, heck even without the wine or beer its very good.
Venison is best prepared rare or medium rare, it keeps it from drying and also tastes better.
Feenix, I'm gonna have to try you recipe and thanks for sharing

I would think that the antelope would be pretty taste with wee we nip of cognac.
