this guy is correctMy personal opinion is most of the hate that antelope receive is due to the season being in the warm weather and the animals not being properly cared for. I shoot and eat a lot of antelope (4 this year). And my method is to skin and quarter them where they hit the ground. Meat goes in a game bag and into a cooler with 20 pounds of ice under and another 20 pounds on top. This cools the meat very quickly.
I have cooked antelope beside deer and cannot tell the difference between the two on the dinner plate. And that is the same if the antelope were eating sage brush or alfalfa.
That said, this is order preference on wild game:
moose
elk
deer, antelope
