Hunting Antelope with a .308 M1A

If you want strong, try a Michigan cedar swamp deer.

The only Michigan Venison was somewhere out in the woods near Escanaba.
My Buddie's Dad and Uncle took these deer and cooked some every nite we were up there.
These guys knew how to cook Venison and we mowed it down!
Don't really know what these deer had eaten.
But it was good eating!
 
It might gag a few but with a fresh killed deer............

We cooked the heart & liver up the first night at our deer camp
or saved one of them for the next night, if not a big crew.

Just don't over cook them!!
 
Love the M1A but it is a bit heavy for toting in the field compared to modern day bolt actions.

While the M1A is a great rifle avoid any ammo over 180 grains as this may damage the Op Rod .
 
Re eating pronghorns: We have a big wild game dinner at our church every year, it's a fundraiser for our annual toy and coat giveaway at Christmas. My job every year is making a big batch (15 gal U.S. Army surplus cookpot) of green chile stew. One year a friend gave me most of an antelope and I cooked it, cubed it, and used it in my green chile stew. Everyone, including me and the wife, thought it was the best ever, including above young tender whitetail and elk.

A little off topic here. There use to be a fund raising dinner I attended here locally where game was served. They stand out best tasting game served a few years was cougar/mountain lion. It taste somewhat like pork, lean and very tender pork.

okay carry on
