Having had Oryx and Axis, can confirm everything you said, including the Axis being hit so hard. My buddy did the broken horn hunt a few weeks ago South of San Antonio and was shocked at how much meat he ended up with.

Yes sir, Me, my brother-in-law, and dad hunted in Mountain Home Texas this year and I ended up taking a Red Deer Hind, my BIL shot a broken horned Oryx, and my dad shot an Axis doe. All fantastic, but that Oryx was leaps and bounds better. I hope to go back again next year and have already called dibs on any broken horned Oryx.

I shot an Oryx in 2012. I was not super impressed with it but I caveat that by saying the one I shot was older than Moses. I mean it was good but imo I think Axis is better. Axis meat is my #2 favorite meat behind Kudu. That meat is literally on my Mt. Everest of favorite things to eat and bonus is they are fricking gigantors.

I hunted ducks with a young man who guided oryx trips in New Mexico and while I never ate any oryx that had both horns the broken horned ones were delicious...he swore you could barely taste the difference and that the horns weren't good eating anyhow....
