Chris Pratt -- Have a Piece of My Antelope

Chris Pratt made sure at least one antelope was not playing with the deer in the wilderness ... because the creature has been reduced to delicious jerky.

The always awesome actor was at baggage claim at LAX -- fresh from a hunting trip -- when our photog asked him about his prey.

Chris digs deep into his backpack and pulls out a bag of jerky. The question ... how does antelope taste?
