I always found it odd that half the people I talked to said that antelope meat tasted HORRIBLE, and half said it was their favorite, even above elk. Views of elk, bison, beef and venison seem much more consistent. Why the big disparity on antelope? After a week in WY, the answer is clear. About half the guys we saw get antelope quickly quartered and got on ice, and half let the animal ride around on the back bumper all day until they dropped it off in a pile of other carcasses at the meat processor's parking lot. A pile that stayed fairly high until the 4th day after opener (including an 88 degree day).
We treated our antelope right and it tasted great on Sunday night at home, I am fairly sure those stacked up in the hot parking lot will taste a little different. As they say, "be kind to your meat, and you meat will be kind to you" (cue the clever remarks).
