Like any game animal young animals generally taste better, have had slow roasted Cham leg that was very comparable to lamb. Usually if I shoot a buck for his head I will take the backsteaks and sometimes the back legs also, but deal with that meat as you would any mature/male animal, they don't "stink" like a bull tahr would (especially during the rut) but they can be very gamey tasting and therefore more suited to stews and salami etc. Medallions cut from the backsteaks of a young one and done in a hot pan are pretty good, you want to cook them through a bit more than venison but definitely don't overdo them
