It is as good as eating an old goat that foraged for a living.
To be determined

My wife and I love it. She lived in the Middle East and Spain growing up and I spent a bunch of time in the Middle East, guess we just got a taste for it. I would shoot an Aoudad for the meat every time my freezer got low if I could.

Mix it with pork, and grind it up into smoked links.

I brought home the backstraps of the only Aoudad I've taken back in January. I beat them with a tenderizing mallet,used a cubing device, applied meat tenderizer, marinated them for 3-4 days, then cooked them up, and they were still chewy. To be fair, they were from an 11 year old ram. I sure hope that the Mexican ranch hands who took the rest of the meat were able to make something edible out of them.

I've had sausage made out of the couple of young ones I've shot, and it was darn good. We were at a wild game dinner fund raiser in Llano a few weeks ago and they served some chicken fried cubes of aoudad from a good sized ewe and is was actually quite good too. And old ram? No, probably not.

I have eaten five of them. Two yearlings, a three year old ewe, a four year old ewe, and a four year old ram. (two different hunting trips in two different areas).
They were all excellent. Really not much different than venison.
Maybe they get nasty if they are really old rams, but these were all really good.
I just handled them like all my animals-gutted them as soon as they hit the ground. Cooled them out as soon as I could, then skinned and quartered them and aged them on ice in an ice chest for several days.
I shared some of the meat with one of my cousins, and he prefers it to deer, antelope, and hog and keeps bugging me to shoot some more.

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

I've never eaten one, but my neighbors have, they said they're real chewy...I can cook an old boot in a crock pot and make it taste good. Just sayin'.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

I have a buddy that shot a young ram and said it was the best game he had ever eaten.
