Sambar Deer in Texas - good to eat?

Crs
I second Poton's view . Sambhar Deer makes for excellent eating ! You can actually cure the loins like bacon .
I baked this pizza a month back and decided that it could benefit from a
little bit of venison " bacon " on top .

If you would like the recipe , please do not hesitate to ask . I am also impressed by some of the other innovative recipe ideas shared by our brother forum members.
 
Sambar hunter, you antler collection surpasses even my collection off whitetailed deer antlers. As you did with your excess antlers, many years ago I began tossing antlers into bins and barrels.
For the past 15 years, I have hunted only exotics here in Texas except for a few does taken by my grandson.
Even elk ( family favorite to eat) are exotics in Texas plus all the many exotics from out of country.
I have even seen pix of African exotics, including giraffe, shot on a Texas exotic ranch where a person staged his "African Safari" .
 
We ate a real lot of Sambar venison from these and others over the past two years,we..... me,my friends/family and my dogs. My dogs eat 90% venison and offal.

Great collection of antlers sambar hunter. Antlers have never worried me, tho I would like a good set. My mates property has a 36 in her but only seen him once. A good feed is better to me I can't really eat the antlers ha ha.
 
How much do flavor profiles change between deer species?

I find it changes depending on what they have been eating. A sambar eating clover tastes different to one eating wild forage.
Different species vary in meat texture as well. It also varies depending on the age of the animal and how it is treated after death. If treated properly even an older animal can be mighty fine eating.
Mistreat the meat and all you end up with is a lot of ground/ minced meat for patties or meatballs or at the worst a pile of dog food.
Cheers

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
