I think they are fine if you put them down quick and get the meat cooled off. If they are in the sage they can be more gamey than if they are in the grass or crop fields. If you put a bad shot on one and it runs 5 miles, its not going to be as good.

I've seen a lot of people in the field being slovenly with the carcass and heard a lot of stories how they aren't good eating and I think they go hand in hand.

I grew up eating them in NE wyoming though, so I don't think I'm an impartial judge.

I understand. Antelope is my favorite meat. I grew up in Wyoming as well. I was curious how this one ate since it was young.

congrats,
The trophy is in the rememberance of the hunt. I have larger in my horn pile that I seldom even look at and smaller that are on my wall because of how great the hunt was. I assume it is a bow harvest and anything with a bow is overcoming adversity. Kudo's to you on a great experience.

It look good on the wall either way. Trophies are in the eye of the beholder. Every one has different ideas of what a trophy animal is to them. Congrats on a successful hunt.
