My experience matches SWT's. The big guys taste fine, but they are tough. The last one I shot probably went close to 200 Lbs if not more. I couldn't drag it anywhere, and had to skin it on the ground and just took the legs and backstraps. I cooked some up and decided it was too tough, so I've been running it through my grinder. I use it just like ground beef, and it tastes the same as beef to me.
