I saw the post on Aoudad meat being pretty rank.
I'm curious, of the other exotics in Texas, which ones are good to eat?

Axis is at the top of my list.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Eland
Scimitar Horned Oryx
Red Lechwe
Axis
In that order, imo.
I've also eaten Texas killed Addax, Nilgai and Blackbuck Antelope. Very good, but not as good as my top four.

Nilgai was the best, Axis was second. Aoudad was good ONLY if pressure cooker cooked.

Axis, eland, and oryx for me. I wasn't all that impressed with the Nilgai that I shot. He was an old, rutted up bull. I'd like to shoot a Nilgai cow and let her hang for a week before butchering to see if it helped.

I've had alfalfa feed cow Elk from the Van Horn area (mulie mike)
Axis
Blackbuck
Oryx
Aoudad
I like whitetail much better than Aoudad. I'll donate the meat, if I ever get one.
Elk was good, but not better than Axis or Oryx.
Blackbuck was surprisingly very good also.

Best I ever had was some Eland that came off a ranch near Uvalde. A buddy shared some of his kill and it was incredible!
I love Axis.
Oryx is very good as well.

Nilgai is the only one mentioned that I have had. It was great.
A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.

Elk
Addax
Axis/Red deer
Scimitar horned Oryx
Nilgai
Fallow/BB/Dybowski Sika
Aoudad
Japanese sika/Texas ibex
Corsican sheep

They all eat well. Just have to know how to clean, age, and prepare.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
