Thread: Favorite NZ Venison

Best game meat ever is warthog. Nothing else comes close.

As far as antelope type species go, impala isn't bad, but the one time I had kudu it wasn't very good at all - but may have been the cook responsible. Of the NZ species, I have only tried fallow and red when I knew which species I was oinking on, the fallow wins. At the last ASRA shoot Kevin provided some farmed vennie, dunno what it was but it was fucking good. @Gruntzer or @dogmatix might know/remember

One of my old employers was a saffa, actually grew up in Zimbabwe and he said the same. He reckoned Eland is real good and makes the best biltong

I think that Eland is actually a Bovid - someone correct me if that is wrong, but it would explain why they make great biltong
