Good antelope meat. An old friend of mine, who is no longer with us, told me never shoot an antelope in the head or neck if you want good meat. Shoot them in the lungs or heart. When you dress a head shot antelope you might get a handfull of blood if you cut his throat. If he is chest shot, you will have a chest full of blood when you open the chest cavity. He will basically be bled out.
My old friend was right. Shoot them in the chest if you like good antelope meat. Also shoot them early in the day before they have been run several miles.
