2 жыл бұрынSteve is fed up with disrespect for one of the world's most unique game animals-the pronghorn antelope. Throughout the hunt, Steve shares antelope biology, hunting techniques, and meat care. Steve aims to make antelope lovers out of everyone and get pronghorns the respect they deserve.

It’s really not fair how Steven can make testicle meat look tasty. He’s like “I hate hearing people say how bad road kill skunk is. It gets a bad rap for being stinky when it’s really all in how you cook it” and then proceeds to make it look good.

I'd already passed up on a spike mule deer on day one so I had this nagging feeling I had just blown my one opportunity so when the little pronghorn came walking by I decided that I wasn't going to pass on my second chance and shot him. going to try and go back next year if point creep doesn't get to bad this time I'll try and be a little less paranoid about going home empty handed

I had pronghorn for the first time visiting a friend's family in Wyoming. They were ranchers, and had killed the pronghorn right before we got there so we got to watch as they cleaned it and took it apart. If you've never had antelope tacos, you haven't had antelope! It was the most tender and flavorful meat I've had in a long time. I can't wait to get in there and hunt one myself one day.

Antelope is great. I’m a lifelong Montana resident and one of my favorite things each year is our antelope hunt. They’re my favorite animal to hunt by far. I’ve had some good antelope meat and some pretty terrible shit as well, but usually it’s good. Antelope sausage, antelope curry, antelope sauerbraten, etc.. all great ways to eat it!

Another tip my friend taught me years ago, which applies to mule deer and antelope, is to skin the animal quickly, if possible. There is a theory that the hide of antelope and mule deer contains oils which can cause the animal to taste more gamey. I've done this for years, and it really, really works.

My longest shot was on a pronghorn. To witch I learned alot during that hunt and we did quarter it up and having directly on ice. It was a large doe and the my grandfather taught me and from my own cooking experience they are great tasting animals. They will very much test a hunters patience and adaptability in a hunt for pronghorn. I missed a few shots on that particular hunt due to the fact I had little experience with long distance shots. But at the end of the 2 weeks all of us in a group of 7 tagged out. Good memories and good food. All in lusk Wyoming and extremely friendly locals

Use a kapock filler to keep the powder up against the primer. The .30-'06, .308 Winchester, and the .30-30 can all be loaded to do this.
