My antelope meat is smelling a little funny

Hint of sage?

I’ve heard antelope can smell taste vastly different based on how fast/slow you skin it. Like you can cool it too fast And also certainly too slow.

The couple pieces I ate tasted about how it smelled. Damn near like a cow pasture, screw it, I'll see how it turns out.

I killed a doe last year. Wife said the ground meat smelled funny but tastes great after cooking. I even ripped the stomach open while gutting.

The key on how to limit the foul smell is to skin the animal out as soon as you can after the kill. An hour is too long.

Their diet has a lot to do with flavor. Them sagebrush fed goats taste a lot different than the ones from Ag fields. If being honest, antelope meat even when at its best smells a bit funky.

Field care is also critical. When I first started hunting them the locals really drove home getting them gutted and skinned as fast as possible.

Apparently photobucket is no longer free, what are yall using these days to post pics?

Looks good, man.
