Tips to Prepare and Cook Mouthwatering Antelope Meals
Antelope meat gets mixed reviews from hunters. It’s a difficult thing for me to understand personally, because I can’t get enough of antelope. When properly cared for, pronghorn is easily among my favorite big game meats. Improper care can leave any wild animal with a gamey taste. But with a little attention, antelope is right up there with the best wild meats.
7 Things You Can Expect On Your First Antelope Hunt
The American pronghorn is a completely unique species, found only in North America. They’re not related to African antelope, or any American cervids like deer or elk. In fact, “antelope” as we refer to them colloquially, are the only horned animal that sheds its horns annually.
Rifle Antelope Hunts – A Table Mountain Customer Favorite
Wyoming is the antelope hunting capital, where hunters are welcomed with an abundance of tags and opportunity. Here at Table Mountain Outfitters, we enjoy exclusive leases on expansive Wyoming ranches. Spot and stalk rifle antelope hunts are extremely popular and for good reason. Available licenses, high success rates and fast-action hunting make this a great experience.
Quick Tips for Field Judging Antelope
Field judging antelope is a subjective art that requires a keen eye and great optics. Closer is always better but sometimes you are forced to make decisions from a long distance. Elk and deer are far easier to judge because they have distinct tines and features that are easy to spot. An antelope’s horn features are subtle and can be difficult to discern.

Wyoming Bow Hunts are Underway
Bow hunts are now underway in Wyoming! We’re excited for the start of the 2022 hunting season, and the archery seasons in particular are always a highlight for us. Archery antelope season began in mid-August and our hunters have already been off to a quick start. These bow hunts for pronghorn are primarily done from ground blinds. In the August heat and with cagey antelope bucks, it’s never easy. But patience and persistence have paid off.
