Just thought I might add:  I had the opportunity to eat antelope once.  "You like deer meat, right?" he said.  "Well, this is way, way better than deer meat!"

Boy, was I pumped.  Better than deer meat?  It must be like ambrosia or something.

I was terribly disappointed.  Not only was it not better than venison, it was just about the worst-tasting meat I ever ate.

Since it was a wild animal, it could have just been ruined by the way it was prepared.  Maybe he didn't gut it soon enough, or get it frozen soon enough, or something.

I'd try it again, if I had the chance, but the one time I did eat it didn't impress me.

Antelope are not part of the deer family.  They are actually related to sheep, if I recall correctly.  I didn't know this relation at the time, and I had never eaten mutton before at the time that I ate the antelope.  Years later I did try some mutton, and I didn't like it, either.  So maybe that's why I didn't like the antelope.
