cool, hows the meat taste?

sheep is lovely to me after u work for it for so long and hard!

The Bush pig ( first pic) is like domestic pig. Similar texture and flavor, just a little wild but damn close in taste.

Warthog meat is great... not on a BBQ - to dry if you BBQ it, but roast and stews are great with garlic and red wine, we also make a jerky ( called biltong) that is just as great. The best though is an Eland - it is also the biggest antilope in Africa.

You can stretch right up and touch the sky

You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find

I always say - You need enough gun.. The Blue eland, was shout 5 times with a 375 HH... and you can see in pic they were good shots. They tuff as nails...

Is Elk good eating?
