The hosts discuss the possibility of purchasing a whole Oryx for meat, noting it costs approximately $1,000 and requires significant freezer space. The meat is described as a cross between venison and goat, with tenderloin medallions being a highly regarded delicacy in Southern Africa.
The legal and ethical implications of eating exotic game like the Scimitar-horned Oryx are explored. The segment notes that the Oryx is thriving in Texas due to the hunting industry, but a recent court case won by animal rights groups may lead to a ban on shooting them.
