My family and I eat almost every exotic that we take, though we won't eat merino sheep. We absolutely love blackbuck and axis, though oryx is hard too beat. I have found that almost any recipe for whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn or elk will work for any exotic we take. Even most beef or mutton recipes will work. One of our favorite recipes calls for taking the back strap of the animal in question. Cut it into about 1 inch thick steaks, then use a tenderizer hammer and beat the hell out of them to tenderize the meat. Then dip it in a batter of your choice, we prefer either a buttermilk or beer based batter. After chicken frying these steaks put them in a 2 inch deep tray. Then pour on the mushroom soup, add onions and peppers or your choice. We use bell peppers. Then slow cook the tray until the soup cooks down to a thick broth. These steaks are hard to beat. Many non-venison eaters come over and rave on and on about how good these steaks are. They have even converted many non-venison eaters to hunters. As one friend said, Man, if I had known they could taste this good I would have started hunting years ago! His family has not eaten store bought meat for over 5 years now! Good luck and good hunting!
