I think it would be a waste to not at least try. I have never had Aoudad but I would try different techniques and research some recipes to see if I could make a good tasting dish out of it.

My brother and dad each shot a good size ram on our old lease. They were skinned gutted and ices quickly all handled well, we have been butchering our own game making our own sausage etc. for decades. Started cutting it up at the house after being on ice a while and noticed the meat had an unfamiliar smell to it. Decided to go in and cook a piece of backstrap to see how it tasted before we got any further. Prepared it like any other chicken fry. Was it edible? absolutely. I didn't care for the taste at all. We fed the coyotes, buzards, and whatever other scavengers might have eaten it.

I eat anchovies, liver, spam, potted meat, gizards, calf fries, etc. and I like to try new things. Aoudad was a no go for me, maybe it would be better if they weren't big old males, maybe not, but I don't plan on finding out.

This is a mindset I think more hunters need to lose.


you kill a animal and leave it lay something eats it. Maybe the coyote that got a free meal won't pick off the fawn or doe the next day.

in any case, if you shoot something and let it lay the result is the exact same as if the animal doesent get shot and dies of old age or dies in a fight.


I have had to unlearn the theory that the animal is wasted by not consuming it. Best use of the meat, probably not, but its not a waste.










For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

On the other hand if we didn't at least try nobody would know how "good" axis is, which I tend to think people put it on a pedestal when in reality, to me at least, it falls way short of the hype.

To each his own. I've eaten most all of the African antelope species, and most everything over here. Axis venison has no peer, period, in my book at least.
