[QUOTE="Tikkamike, post: 674744, member: 22242"] I have to disagree with Broz and Roy. not saying their way doesnt work but I know for a fact the hide does not have to come off. I have been shooting 4-6 antelope per year (probably no more than either of them) but its enough to know what I do works also. It is all about how clean you keep them. As Broz stated we typically shoot them when its warm out so get the meat out of the heat asap. It is ok to let it hang with the hide on. I leave hide on for one reason, It keeps the meat from drying out. When you are cutting it up keep everything very clean, antelope hair is tubular and it seems to hold a lot of scent, so continually wipe down your cutting surface, knives etc... as you are cutting anything white or the shiney stuff needs to be cut off, this will ensure good flavor and a tender piece of meat. (there are several of those grainy muscles in the hind quarters that you simply cant remove all the shiney stuff, for me that goes to hamburger, jerky, roast etc... And the most important thing I think we can all agree on is keep all hair off the meat. I get pretty extreme with it. if there is a hair on the meat i dont pick it off il actually cut that piece of meat off that the hair is touching, the hair is so potent it can ruin meat one hair in a package of meat can sometimes make that whole package taste "off" so keep it super clean and you will not find a better piece of meat.
