A first and a last

Man, when a Cajun says he won't eat it, it must be seriously challenging! :mrgreen:

Russ I have to tell you and Creed can back me up.
You get twenty yards down wind of one of them you can smell them.
It isn't a pleasant smell.
The first impression, not unlike venison.
The after taste?
Just what you smelled.

We've heard mixed reviews on these things.
Some people claim they are great eating. Others don't.
Creed's family has a friend in the construction business that employs a lot of folks from this part of the country. Most of them of Mexican descent.
They told us they didn't want them.....................

They stink, allright. Makes tracking alot easier, though. He didn't bleed much, so we struck out in search of blood. I got downwind, and didn't need any blood, just follow the stench. :lol:

The taste was okay at first, a little bit tough, but not terribly unlike venison. Until you were about to swallow and the flavor turned to musk. Sort of like the aftertaste of a bad cigar.

The younger ones or ewes might be okay, but like a big dominant boar -- I've never been hungry enough to eat that for dinner.

Howard,
I guess its that sheep/goat combo. We have Muflon here and its exactly the same. You have a few that really like it and most do not. The after taste is IMHO, out right nasty. My buddy made some from our Muflon hunt in the begining of this month. He bled it and then sliced it and then bled it some more. Soaked it for three days and then jerked it. That goat/sheep taste stil was there in the end just before you swallowed. Eck.
