Elk and moose are good, I like moose better. Deer is gross. Never had antelope. but I'd try it!
I've only had moose a few times, but I do like it a lot :) Elk and deer are most common. My mom and aunts say that the trick to good flavor with deer is to make sure every last scrap of fat is cut off (apparently the gaminess is in the fat). Then you cook it with other fats (butter, lard, shortening, etc). I don't cook it, as my husband isn't a hunter--I just eat it when visiting family and friends :)

YAY deer! Meh antelope--lol. How do you cook it? My family are big hunters (naturally), but the only way I like antelope is in a stew. It seems more 'gamey' than deer, elk, or moose. Elk is my favorite. Now I'm hungry... ;)
We cut some steaks, but most of the antelope gets ground into burger. Yum in chili or spaghetti, I have used it for pizza, too. I bread the steaks in flour and fry them.

Elk is my favorite, too. Not going elk hunting this year, though. Unless he changes his mind. ;)

I am hungry now too! Thought we could have backstrap tonight, but Scott wants to let it age a few days. I know that is what we should do, but boy do I want some now!
