Based on the list below, which animals would you take based on meat quality alone? Rank them.

Oryx
Elk
Axis
Bison
Eland
Nilgai

I've only had elk, axis and bison and they are all really good. My personal favorite is axis.

I have had the top three and they are in the correct order.

Eland
Axis
Nilgai
Oryx
Bison
Elk


Just my .02

Oryx
Elk
Axis
Addax

Of these I have only taken Elk and Nilgai and the Nilgai was quite a bit better.

The oryx I shot was some of the best tasting I've had, REALLY curious how it compares with the Gemsbok I hope to harvest soon.. I have delt with/ate a lot of Hybrids/purebred and full bloods and there IS a difference.

Hate to break this to You Guys, but Elk are Native Game

So are Bison

Nilgai, in my opinion, is the best meat of any animal. If interested in a Nilgai Hunt in South Texas, I can recommend an incredible place.

Blackbuck is awful good too!

Hey Flags -
How do you have your bb processed or in what cuts?
Thx

I cut all my own meat. Pull the back straps and the tenderloins. Separate the bigger muscles of the hind legs into roasts and grind the rest. If I want steaks or stew I break down a roast as needed. Cutting meat is easy when you get a little experience. I haven't ever paid anyone to do it since my father and grandfather taught me how to do it. I've got my own grinder for burger and sausage and vacuum pack everything. I can do a whole deer in less than 2 hrs including the grinding and have it in the freezer.

2- axis

Looks like oryx and axis it is. Appreciate the feedback.

Shot an oryx last year and the steaks, jerky and sausage were unbelievably great. Was just wondering about other options...

Pere David
Eland
Bison

The rest are second tier

Fallow
BB
Addax
Red deer
Sika


Domestic
Moose
Elk
good old american white tail

Haven’t had nilgai but familiar with its reputation. Have had the rest. Elk and bison too lean for me. Eland is great, oryx better, but prefer axis most.

Red stag is so good I totally quit eating whitetail since

I just had Axis for the first time

I thought it was excellent

Best wild game I've ever ate

Eland
Gemsbok
Nilgai
Axis

thus far having tried most exotic readily available both my wife and I would rank them:
Blue Wildebeest/Nilgai
eland
oryx
gemsbok
blackbuck
pere david
fallow
axis/ red hind/stag
bison
elk
any sheep or goat

Have had all but eland, but would add red stag to the list. Red deer is served regularly in Scotland with nearly every eatery having it on their menus, it's an amazing meal!

Wague-Kobe.
