I haven't eaten eland, but I have eaten a lot of gemsbok (they are here in NM too). I would say it's slightly better than pronghorn but not as good as a nice fat cow elk. But, I like the stronger taste of deer and elk (compared to beef), and oryx/gemsbok doesn't have that. It's milder than deer/elk. None are as good as springbok, and maybe Hartmann's mountain zebra, which I thought was excellent.
