Finally ran out of hamburger and I'm going to grind some more and was wondering what everybody's thought are of combining some deer meat and antelope together or should I keep them separate? I've never ground antelope into burger before so don't know what to expect. Thanks.

I've combined different types of animals when making sausage and never had any problems.

I save all of my meat to be ground aside, no matter what the animals are, and mix it all together at the end of the season with pork fat. The ground meat I just finished (it was used in the chili and my wife's meatballs for the HT hunt) was deer, antelope, elk, and a little bit of lamb mixed with pork and packaged in tubes. It was awesome! I have some antelope already in the freezer to grind and we'll see what this year's hunts bring to add to the mix.

Antelope is so sweet, I would grind them separately, but that's just me. I have ground deer and elk together many times. Like others, I always add some form of domestic fat to my grind, usually beef or pork.

Mix 'em! Antelope is fantastic. it is as good or better than deer as far as I am concerned. We use them interchangeably.

Mix em. Both are great. We use them interchangeably.

There are more important things to worry about. They are both fantastic and we use them interchangeably.

Wow! That was special. My computer or the internet did not want to post anything and then did it all at once.
