I may be the odd man out here, but I've eaten off of several Barbery Sheep (as they are called in New Mexico) and have found 'em to be quite palatable. The ram was a little bit tough, but not unbearable. Perhaps it has something to do with the environment they live in.
I have the same hunt that TInman had for this coming Feb. I'm really looking forward to getting after them and hiking around the country they call home.

Is the meat gamey or just tough?
Was wondering if canning would be an option.
I was told by landowners and guides that the meat is no good. A friend shot a really big trophy animal and took the head and hide but left the meat .
I hunted a ranch near Hondo where I could have shot as many as I could afford, but I prefer game that is good to eat like elk, red deer, hogs, Nilgai, and such, so no Audads for me. They taste fine. I've also had people say pronghorn is terrible, wrong. Sage grouse inedible, wrong. Sharp-tailed grouse same...and again wrong. Large boar feral hogs are disgusting table fare, incorrect. Its almost like these people either A. Dont know how to care for the animal in the field B. Cant cook for sheit. C. Are lazy and dont want to hassle with the "icky" game meat.

If you are hunting trophy Aoudad they will normally be 10-12 years old. Do you eat 10 year old goats? Not me. If you want one for eating shoot a young female.

They are really hurting the Desert Bighorn propagation program here in Tx. They can out breed them and survive on thorn brush after they have eaten all the choice browse around. They can form herds of up to fifty or so animals and have a large range.

" Do you eat 10 year old goats? Not me. "
I tried goat one time in a bar on the border. With enough beer, it went down. Last one for me UNLESS I am starving.
