Ram Edibility
I'm taking my 7 year old boy on an exotic ram hunt. Corsican, mouflon, texas dall. I've always preached to him that you eat what you kill. Hunting and fishing.
But everything I've heard says that the rams are terrible to eat. that nobody eats them. I've even heard that they have nasty habits involving the ingestion of urine. Sounds awful.
So, what's the verdict? Should we skip the meat? I can tell my boy that the meat is being donated. Or we can grind it up for the dogs. I was hoping it would be like lamb. Guess not.

Hi Scott,
Found this online....although I think if you follow this recipe, even an old boot would taste good.

Place a fresh cedar board in the oven at 225 degrees and heat. While this is heating, rub the ram meat with olive oil fresh garlic and a mix of one part sugar and six parts coarse salt.
Thanks. Since we're looking for a nice trophy, we'll likely be shooting an older ram so we'll need to prepare as such.
My first instinct was to grind it all and just use it for making sausage.

Thats great!
You might want to just sample a small chunk of the board, and see how it fares in relation to the meat
Seriously, I wish you guys the best of luck, and I hope you end up with a nice trophy or two
best wishes,
Jeff
