We eat a lot of ground, but the backstrap is our favorite. Honestly, I forgot I still had some in the freezer. I was going through it and found 4 packages of antelope. All backstrap!!
I seared some antelope backstrap tonight. Rubbed it with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and crushed garlic.
Turned out so good. I still have a few more backstraps left. We are gonna be having some good eating the next few weeks!
I would add lots of friends to that list!!
I wouldn’t let not having a recovery service available stop me from harvesting one though. As long as it is cold enough so the meat won’t spoil you can do it. Like the old saying goes “how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time”.
Good luck and...
I will be getting there on August 17 and can hunt that afternoon through Tuesday morning the 20th. So even if the weekend is busy, I will still have all day Monday and Tuesday morning. I am thinking it should be fine. I am getting super excited since we are just over two weeks out! My Wife has...
Thanks for all of the input. Kinda what I was thinking. But since I have never hunted opening weekend I really wasn’t sure. I know opening weekend for buck is crazy!
I only shoot Barnes TTSX. I have only had one that was not a pass through, and It sheared a petal off. My grinder found it.
Not a big deal. I had gotten so used to them staying whole it made me complacent. Back when I used lead, I would cut away a generous amount from the shot up meat. Never...
So I usually hunt antelope toward the end of the season in October. This year we only have Doe tags and due to work schedule I will have to hunt opening weekend in August. Opener for The type 1 tags is September 10.
I am wondering if the Doe/fawn opener is going to be busy? I can’t imagine...
I bought the whole set of the little jake books for my boys. They love them. I kinda do too. Gets me excited to see them interested in it. Plus they teach good lessons about being a good sportsman.
I just did one for a scope I bought 5 or 6 years ago. You do it all online now. Have to enter the serial number of the scope. As far as know there isn’t an expiration. Just create an account and enter the info. If you need to pay for one, they will email you or call you for payment. FYI, I...
I have the kenetrek gaiters. While trying them on in my house after receiving them in the mail, the button ripped out as I was taking them off. I would’ve sent them back, but I was leaving on a trip a week later and had to use them. I would definitely expect more from a product that cost that much.
Lol. I am from the 805 as well. Unfortunately, the only people who are moving here are illegals. And they send about 90% of their money back home south of the border.
You can “hunt” here every year though. Deer tags are abundant! Just don’t expect to fill more than one a decade......
The...
