Is it good eating?

Yes.

Actually I don't know, but I own a computer, so therefore I am entitled to an opinion whether or not I have any actual facts to back it up.

The medalions were ok but not my favorite and not to be compared with Eland or Blesbok which I truly enjoyed.

That line has been in my head a while, it just had to come out!

It is good eating. A friend shot one and we ate some. Good stuff. I find most African horned game is good, have not et a bad one yet!

Yes, it is good. At least the Scimitar Horned Oryx that I shot a few years ago in South Africa was tasty.

Nice animal

don't know about the meat,but would like to find out.

Wendell - Always a smart ass!

Saeed should know. I think he raises them

Taste like Gemsbok?

What is even funnier is that a fair percentage of the folks on the internet actually believe it!

Use Enough Gun,

That is one nice looking stock on that rifle

I like Simitar Oryx meat better than any wild meat I've ever eaten, Eland included!

Wendell, it seems you might think some people on the internet would post falsehoods! I can't believe it!

that line is a true classic.

Buckshotaz: It's a custom thumbhole stock made by Cecil Fredi from Blonde Fiddleback Myrtle Wood for my .300 WSM. A pleasure to shoot and exremely accurate. I have taken over 70 plains game animals with it, from Giraffe(yes,Giraffe) to Steenbok. As an aside, the male Scimitar Horned Oryx in the picture had 40" horns.

MacD37,, you like the scimitar better than eland?? Gee, last time I cooked eland, kudu and gemsbock filets at the same meal and they were all really great,,,, I wish I could cook the scimitar and the eland side by side and give it a taste test,,,,,,might have to do it several nights just to make sure???? Like earlier stated,, I think all the horned plains game are pretty awesome,, could be the mopane wood or the southern cross makes it better,,,wish I was there right this minute to check out the taste buds,,,but bottom line Perry,,, the simitar eats really good!

Grilled half a back strap last night and it was very good.
Wrapped it in bacon, seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Cooked it rare...no left overs between 6 of us.

I agree! Without a doubt the best game meat I have eaten.

I've had clients shoot several over the years here in Texas. When they say "You can have the meat, I've got plenty deer meat in the freezer", I get the feeling like I drew the ace at a card game and won the pot!

I heard it tastes like chicken.

Surely you don't mean it is better than Aoudad!

TASTEY!!!

Last summer, we took an Axis buck and a Scimitar in sucessive days. We had filets the same night. I preferred the Oryx; some preferred the Axis. Both were outstanding.
