Had DooDad sausage with my eggs this morning. Sure was good.

Perhaps a silly question here, but are the aoudads fit to eat? Not generally...I guess young ewes are OK...Ive shot three rams and my first answer is NO. That said..'Ive got a guy..." who makes sausage out of aoudad that is excellent, so guess where my next one is going. We cooked up fresh backstops from one of mine and they were good...but REALLY chewy....

They can really jump. I surprised a group one day they took off, cleared fence with ease.

Rams are good for sausage and jerky. The ewes can be good in chili, enchiladas or any spicy slow cooking or grilling method.

I hunted a ranch a couple times near Burnet years ago, and they had a few auodad on the place. The camp manager fed us some lasagna made with ground auodad. It was pretty decent, but I'm pretty sure it was from a ewe.

Congrats to the O.P. on a cool hunt!
As far as eating them about all the Rams are good for is putting through the grinder and making sausage. The flavor of the meat is good but it is just to damn tough and chewy no matter how you cook it. The Ewes are much more edible and the lambs are actually really good. They are beautiful animals but they breed like rats and way outcompete the native wildlife. We try to kill every one we see but like pigs we cant keep up with them to keep them in check. They have become a huge problem in the area I hunt and have really started to impact the native whitetail population.
Anyway a hunt out in far West Texas in the area where the OP hunted is an awesome experience in some rugged but beautiful country.

Perhaps a silly question here, but are the aoudads fit to eat? They are fine to eat. Don't listen to the folks that just dont want to deal with it. (Like guides) Steak from the backstrap is good, same goes for burger. Some animals stink. I choose not to eat the hair, hide, and azzhole. The meats good tho.

I take it Texas has no meat salvage laws? I would sure think it would make good pepperoni, sausage or kielbasa’s
