My son and a couple of his buddies went on an aoudad guided hunt a couple years ago, they shot 4 rams, the outfitter told them " we leave them for the buzzards " if you want we will help you clean it but it is not fit to eat.
I've never had an aoudad that wasn't good. From ewes to mature giant rams, they were all good. I've actually eaten more old mature rams than young rams and ewes. These threads always make me laugh. The tough comments I can understand as steaks do require a meat mallet to make them tender.
Also on a forum where most prefer to eat store bought beef over wild game they kill

Exactly, we eat them every way we eat venison. I guess all the haters are good for the Auodad population.
Love reading all sides to this. Personally, I just have a huge issue with wasting meat. Just goes against how I was raised with hunting.
I've got 5 kiddos and each has their "opinion" on game we eat. Two don't care for whitetail, one griped about the Fallow steaks, and even had one tell me the Nilgai steaks were gamey.
They all devoured this Aoudad and I agree it was very good.
To each their own, but for our first one, this Aoudad is great table fare.
Hopefully will get the opportunity to try another soon.

I suppose it's like big boar hogs: some will eatem (me), some won't. I haven't had aoudad. But would try it several times, and different ways, before I turned my nose up at it . Here's to your next one being as good as the first!
We ate everybit of our aoudad meat, ground, sausage, some whole cuts. All of it was good! We made spaghetti meat balls, chorizo, all kinds of sausages and for the record mine was a giant old mature ram. The meat didn't smell.
Most people who say game is "smelly" or rank, it's probably because they did not care for the meat properly or on time.
