Was it worth the quiver? Have you ever tried South Western U.S. antelope? Was it "edible" and tasty?

Answer 1

Antelope is quite edible. As for tasty, you have to make sure that you cook it properly. Soak it in mild to leech out the sage and other strong flavored green stuff the antelope might have eaten.

You can use the leeching liquid as a marinade, you do this by using another liquid.

As with most wild game, the meat is extremely lean so you Must check the meat frequently to prevent over cooking. I also recommend that you cook it well done to prevent the possibility of disease.

I also wait to season with salt and pepper until after the cooking process is completed, this seems to keep the meat a bit more tender.

Enjoy you antelope.

Answer 2

It was somewhat gamey. Like some deer meat I have had. I recomend soaking overnight like you might other game in milk , orange juice or lightly salted water with one or two changes of liquid. Very lean of coarse so don't overcook.
