Antelope hamburger and sausage meat!

[muzzletim]

Hello everyone:

I have made a ton of sausage out of ELK, Whitetail and beef but am going antelope hunting in a couple of weeks! Any one have any experience using it for hamburger or sausage.? I wonder if it would be the same mixtures as deer?

Thanks I know one of you will be able to enlighten me~!

Never did one of them bugers myself, but I've read and seen videos that say you do them and sheep the same as deer.

Done allot (even rattler) mix the same as you would with other game.  I like pronghorn better than venison.

I agree with Nepa, only thing I use on the wildgame thing for my smoked sausage is antelope and pork trim. Here at our house it's the # 1 game meat, especially for sausage. We do take care of the critter fast, skin and bone out and into spring water with in 2 hours of killing them. We do 2 or 3 a year. Not much meat on the little speedster's>

I put the smack down on a little meat speedgoat last week. It's in the freg now and I'm going to break it down tomorrow. I want to try to make some burgers this weekend. Any suggestions on ground beef ratio or straight fat ratio? When I've done elk burgers it was straight beef fat (90/10) but I'm thinking the goats might like a little beef meat added? Does anyone have the secret?

It's been close to 25 years since I hunted antelope.    I don't remember if we made any burger or sausage.   What I do remember was there isn't a tough cut of meat on those little critters.  I still remember my wife using a veal paremesan recipe and use the round.   Delicious and you could cut it with a fork.
