Antelope Seared Loins

[Ishi]

Before going to South Dakota on my first Pronghorn hunt I’ve heard mixed reviews on the meat! Some have said that dogs wouldn’t eat it and many have said its excellent table fair.
So when I got back home I was anxious to give it a try. I marinated the loins in Italian dressing for 4-5 hours.
The loins were seared on the grill grates that reached over 600 degrees.
It only took 3 minutes per side and was very surprised how tasty they were with no gamey taste! The only bad thing the animals aren’t as big as the whitetail that I’m used to so I didn’t get as many packages of loins and the won’t last long.

Looks like great table fare to me! Never had the chance to try it myself but have been told it is a lot like goat. Not sure how true that is but I would definitely eat that meal for sure

It totally depends on what the animal is eating. If they have been in ag fields, the meat is excellent. If all they have been eating is sage brush however, the meat can be strong and very gamey.

I'd sure help it disappear! Nice job!

This exactly! And from a Cajun no less! I don't mind the gamey flavor in the least, my wife hates it. I've been putting in for a pronghorn tag for over ten years up here in the mountains as there is no sage. I can easily get a tag every year on the eastern plains of CO but there is a lot of sage. The things I do for my wife even amaze me!

You’re correct! Mine came from Ag fields with no sage insight.

Yum, looks KILL'er too me!!!
Try marinating in light olive oil, one smashed clove of garlic, lemon juice, a sprig of rosemary, and S&P for one hour. Yum!!!!!



Speed Goat is one my favorite wild eats. It taste like a really good whitetail deer to me.
Between my old roommate and I, we would kill 6 to 10 a year.
Never had a bad Lope, I'll take it over Mule deer any time.

Looks amazing! I thought pronghorn was tasty, but I also have never tried game I didnt like.

Looks tasty and I saw the pic of where you shot yours, it was grass feed a-lopper.... Those are very mild.... The sage brush stuff in our parts is sausage sticks with a 50/50 blend of something else... Even then its small doses with cheese and other things.....

I’m headed back out to the same place in two weeks to chase mule deer.
