No fair....that is gourmet'......good God man! Looks amazing!From the game I’ve harvested so far elk is my favorite.
I prefer to BBQ the Backstrap and loins over a red oak pit.
Here is a piece of backstrap I did for last years opening day of our CA deer season.

Details?? What wood are you smoking with? Looks awesome!
I agree. I'm not picky when it comes to venison from any game animal, but my wife and kids do not like antelope. Elk is my favorite.Dang I thought lope was the worst.
Looks good, Andy!From the game I’ve harvested so far elk is my favorite.

Okay, I am officially shocked at the results. Antelope! Seriously? Maybe I just cook it wrong. Please give me good recipes because I would love to enjoy antelope, but right now I think it is horrid.

I second that. My antelope are made into jerky. Surprised not to see whitetail ahead in the results
SS when was the last time that you posted something positive?No offense but if you don’t like antelope then you do not know how to cook. That is a fact ?
Have you always been offended easily or did it come with age?SS when was the last time that you posted something positive?

This is what I do:Slightly Sober, send me a good recipe. I honestly don't know how to cook antelope. I really want to try a good recipe.
Rare, cool center and your in the zone...So can you give me a good recipe for antelope because all I can find to do with it is make it into jerky.
This is what I do:
First I try to age it if I can on the bone in coolers. Usually easy to do since they are smaller animals.
When I want to cook it I keep it simple. I let the steak get close to room temp. Season with a little butter, salt and pepper. Get cast iron frying pan hot and throw on steak (whole). Cook a little bit on each side ( min or two for each side) then take off heat and let it rest for 10 mins. Slice and serve.
I've also cooked them on the traeger and just put a little montreal steak seasoning. Easy peasy.
@nfh crock pot? Dude come on. You're just trying to get me worked up!
Hey ss?

I tagged along on a Whitetail deer hunt in South Dakota a few years back. My bro-in-law killed a 2 year-old 9 point with his muzzleloader. That night we cooked up some liver and backstraps, cooked in nothing more than a frying pan with onions, salt and pepper (we were out in the field after all). I couldn't believe how delicious it all was...In your opinion, what's the best tasting venison? And why? And how have you made it the best?
What's the best part of your favorite venison? Tenderloins? Backstraps???
Oh man I forgot about bison. ? ?Bison if you can get a tag
Antelope if you know how to take care of them
Elk
Whitetail
Moose
So can you give me a good recipe for antelope because all I can find to do with it is make it into jerky.
Dang, Neverdrawn!Elk, but it's gotta be a cow or calf.
Mule deer, yearling.
Bear, that's been pressure cooked and made into tacos.
Moose, again a younger one.
Mt. Goat is absolutely bottom of the list for me, but the one I shot was aged at 9 years old. I tried to give most of it away but very few people wanted it...made a lot of jerky and it wasn't even very good.
I like to cook a whole backstrap of most any of the above on the smoker with venison rub at low temp to 130* internal temperature. Comes out as moist as prime rib
Definitely not a millennial, hell, I have kids who are. I guess I should qualify, I enjoy older venison, but given the choice as table fare, you can't beat the young uns!Dang, Neverdrawn!
Are you a millennial?!
You sound like my daughter!
There’s already enough princesses in this world!
JK?
You should get out there and shoot a couple. Very tender meat even on an old buck. Delicious!I’m surprised on all the votes for antelope.
When it’s good it’s very good, and when it’s bad it’s horrible ?You should get out there and shoot a couple. Very tender meat even on an old buck. Delicious!
That’s saying applies to women also ?When it’s good it’s very good, and when it’s bad it’s horrible ?
I've never had just ground antelope. We always mix whatever we have, deer, elk, antelope, moose, buffalo (we usually reserve some all buffalo and all moose grinding just to say we're eating moose/buff burgers). Mix all with 5-7% by weight beef suet.First two antelope this year, backstraps taste delicious. Hands down, family favorite. However, same animal ground up, tastes and smells like a rank goat. Explain that! Is there something I'm doing wrong? Help!
That looks fantastic. You have an open ended invitation my hunting camps!!!!From the game I’ve harvested so far elk is my favorite.

No store-bought burger is better IMHO.
