Not mine.

Nephew in WY sent this picture today. His first antelope on opening Day of rifle season. It's a decent animal, but he's not looking for trophy, just looking to fill his tag before he supervises his wife and two oldest kids this weekend. Their family loves antelope sausage, so he's looking to fill 4 tags (and his freezer.

Best backstrap I ever had was antelope. Roommate in college brought some back from a hunt.

I've never had pronghorn to eat and or to mount. But do love my venison sausage. Here's 25# of Hot Italian I just made IMG_8492.jpeg IMG_8497.jpeg

The only antelope I've ever had was a single slice of 3 yr old freezer burnt summer sausage. Boss was told by his wife to clean out the freezer at home so he brought it all to the research farm as a "treat" for the guys. As soon as he left, ~30 lbs of misc game sausage went directly into the dumpster.

Nephew got 40# of breakfast sausage from this one, and he'll probably bring some at Christmas with the rest of the charcuterie he's been working on all year.

There was an article in this morning's paper about a rancher out near Baker who found two antelope in a strange position. He was able to walk right up on them and it turned out they had somehow become stuck together at the horns. One antelope had already died, the other was weak. He called his dad to bring a saw and they cut off the horns of the dead antelope which allowed the other one to get free and run off. The rancher claimed he is sure he saw that antelope a couple days later so is pretty sure it is doing okay. Hard to imagine how antelope could become stuck like that with the small horns they have.

Danged Barry, should have come seen you when I was in Texas. Closest I got to you was Port A, but I'd gone the extra mile to sample some of that!

Anytime!! We just had a little celebration. Deer Park HS Class of '74's 70th Birthday party where about 25 of us got together. I brought 2 racks of smoked pork ribs, 2 dozen of those smoked Hot Italian Sausages and some of my homemade boudin. Everybody agreed next party's at my house!!
