While I have never tried pronghorn "antelope",  I haven't found any of the antelope family not to extremely good table fare.

Of the ones I have tried, I would rate Eland #1, Gemsbok a very close 2nd.  Never tried them side by side but Scimitar Horned Oryx is just about the equal of Gemsbok.  I can't tell any difference, but my wife says nilgai is not as good as the above.  She admits her opinion might be weighted a tad by the fact that she says nilgai has a slight odor while cooking.  Since I worked in a chemical plant that produced many different acids, my sense of smell is pitiful and  hers is excellent, I bow to her opinion there.  The difference between the four are negligible  IMO.  The only other exotic I have sampled is a Zebra backstrap which I was gifted, and I was totally surprised!  It was as good as any of the above.


No sir, unfortunately, I never made it to Africa.  All except the nilgai listed above are native of Africa, nilgai are from India.

All the pictures were taken in the Republic of Texas ;):D.


That's cool, Bud.  Looks like you have a handle on that .223! 

Down here, the hogs use larger water holes for their wallows and with all the other game tracks around edges it's harder to locate them (on the ground).  Best way to find the active ones is to look at the mesquite trees around the perimeter; they usually wallow then go scratch on the surrounding trees.
