Cooking Audad

[ltsheets]

Not to put the cart before the horse but I'm going Audad hunting in southern NM starting Sunday night. I've heard a wide variety of opinions on whether they're good eating or not. I'm kind of thinking that if I get one, I'll do some jerky and maybe do the rest as sausage of some sort. I'd love to hear how any of you like to prepare it and whether or not it makes good jerky. Thanks in advance.

I grew up on a exotic game ranch and we never ate it. Mom tried frying up some one time, and it was the equivalent to chewing on boot leather.
Curious to see how yours turns out.
Good luck!

There was someone posting on here the other day about how he made it and that it turned out really good. I personally have never eaten one but after looking at his thread I'd be willing to try it. I'll see if I can find the thread

Wow that looks good! Anyone know how it is when made into jerky??

I've tried it about 40 different ways..... Every way it tastes like crap!!!

The meat tastes just like they smell.

I'm almost tired of typing this ... BUT

Ever since I tried Sneaky's ram recipe, I've gotten a bit adventurous; cooking stuff that I normally wouldn't. Javelina. Bear. Ram. And AOUDAD.

I'll be on a plane in 5 hours, on my way to Amarillo, for another aoudad hunt in Palo Duro Canyon.

We ate the back strap hinds and tenderloins. Not certain about the shoulder, etc.

Not sure how my mom cooked it, but it was good. I think she braised it. It was a little tougher then loin tender, but with the onions and bell peppers ... served over white rice.

I miss my mother and her cooking.

We ate the back straps out of a couple Auodad ewe's and they were actually very good but I hear that the Rams are nasty

Had 3 buddies come down from Wyoming and they shot 2 ewes and 1 small ram.

They packed all 3 on ice and filled their freezers when they got home.

5 days later each one of them called me and said the meat stunk up their freezer so bad that they had to throw all of it away!!

Them Aoudad are nasty.

I did a thread too. I won't ever let ram or Javalina meat go after sneakys recipe and my sausage links.
