I shot that Pronghorn on a warm day in a basin without a stitch of shade in sight

After tagging & gutted him I packed him out whole, head, hide, hooves & all. Once he was at the truck I drove to an aspen thicket and got him hanging in the shade and got the meat cut up and iced down in a large cooler I had ready with blocks of ice in it. I had plenty of fresh water to rinse the stomach contents off the meat. Eating wise it was some of the best game meat we've ever had. My S.O. Marina has eaten deer, elk, moose, caribou, and a few others and she claimed it was the best wild game she had ever eaten. I've here people all the time say things like "I wouldn’t feed antelope to my dog", etc. but the four I've eaten have all been excellent. The typically hot weather there harvested in really requires getting the meat cooled ASAP.
