Are these things tasty? Do they taste anything like elk or deer?

Yes , they are highly sought after game meat

Oh ya! Super tasty.

They are in the Bovid family technically.
Preferring to primarily graze succulent grass.

Making even an old male taste fantastic.
It’s one species in particular that males, females, old, young, and even in “rut”. It all taste the same to me. Their diet and cleanliness seems to play into that IMO

Three hunts, four animals, 3 on NWR hunts, one on the King Ranch
1. Slow stalk thru the brush, head shot at 20 yds 7-08
2. Early morning edge of feeding area, prone 328 yds, 308 150gr SST, broke both front shoulders, dropped both lungs, liver lacerations from bone fragments, still alive, finished at 10 yds
3. 20ga Sabot at 150 yds, shoulder shot down and dead
4. Friend on guided hunt on the KR in a high truck. 300 WM. Spotted bull at 700 yds, guide said shoot, how much holdover says my friend, guide says 3 ft, blew front leg off, into the brush, got the dogs and 2 hrs later ran it into a corner fence couldnt jump over and finished it off at 10pm.
Previous comments are spot on, shot placement and the animal is down. Have a friend that bowhunts bulls every year without any issues, does have tracking dogs.
Federal wardens and biologists used to give an orientation lecture before the NWR hunts. Opening statement: This is the toughest hunt you will ever do. For Texas hunters used to being in a blind over a feeder yes. For a mountain elk or sheep hunter no. Cactus, Huisache, snakes and fire ants if you are crawling on the ground.

It sounds like there are some very bad / lazy guides in Tx.
3’ is wild…
