An adult doe antelope yields about 25 pounds of boneless meat. An adult buck antelope yields about 35 to 40 pounds of boneless meat. Ten mature buck antelope would be about 350 pounds of meat. Dividing by 30 means it would take about 12 cubic feet which equates to 300 quarts needed. Dumb question here... how much room does that leave for ice?

One hunter will say he saw antelope every day in a unit while another hunter in the same unit would say he hunted seven days and never saw an animal.
