I have killed 3 blackbuck anetelope so that is a small sample, the 2 does were fantastic meat while the buck my dog would not eat. Have had other bucks that others have killed and would say close to whitetail in taste. No idea why that one buck was not good but he wasn't.

Good luck on the hunt, they are small so do not expect a lot of meat from one.

Hides tanned comes up from time to time but do not remember what place is always recommended. Bet someone chimes in with it though.

I enjoyed every ounce of my last Bull Blackbuck! He was good. I just put a doe in the processor yesterday. Prep and cooking are always key with any animal

You can make dang near any ungulate taste okay if you grind it and mix it with enough seasonings. I like the steaks. Due to heart issues I eat venison most of the time. Get a beef steak two or three times a year. So deer steak on the grill is my favorite. I would rather have a Missouri whitetail over a Texas one as they eat so much corn and soybean and the flavor is so different but I would choose Texas whitetail over blackbuck any day. It's not the flavor is that much better but the texture and toughness of the blackbuck is less desirable to me and my family. Now axis or red deer . . .
