I love the taste of antelope, and have been given a fair amount over the years have others that hunted it didn't care for the taste of the meat on my wish list one day to go out west somewhere and shoot a nice buck even just a mediocre one I'd be happy. Congrads to you and your family!

The true prize… ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/6xh9f0k.jpg) Hinds go in the cooler while the fronts get processed. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nQq5kRh.jpg) Almost done… ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nI3pO6q.jpg) Now I just had to wait for the slaves to get home to help with grinding and wrapping. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/UxgvRM4.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/riC29gJ.jpg) 100+ pounds of burger plus steaks and roasts and the 2021 antelope season is a wrap! First time?

Congrads to you and your family! I think Mule Deer posted a while back about antelope having an enzyme that some folks find unpalatable. Similar to some folks swearing cilantro tastes like soap. Would explain why folks like you and I love it and others can’t stomach it. I have never had that experience. Most antelope I have eaten were either standing in, next to, or within a mile of a grain field. Could make a difference also.

I’ve read some mountain hunt stories on here that have made me want to travel, other adventures that make me think about the possibility of me doing the same, but I am honestly jealous of this whole story. Great time with kids and the entire family, like you said from field to table. I love the shots of the kids sleeping and seriously envious of all the good eats. You are very blessed.

As others have said, thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. Is awesome seeing a family together enjoying the outdoors.
Congrats on the freezer full and all those extra memories.
Whether you tell yourself you CAN do it.... or you CAN'T.... you're correct.
