      Probably delicious when cooked right. Never had antelope, but reindeer and moose are probably in the same pallpark and those are both good.

    One day Oversimplified will cover this on youtube. Just like the pig war and the emu war.

    And he’ll release it right after he covers vietnam. Which will be in approximately 90 years.
