Bison is like pretty much every other meat animal Bronko, Females and young bulls are always more tender and, to me anyway, much better flavored than an older bull. I've come across only 2 exceptions to that rule in the North American game animals, Caribou and Sika. (Of course Sika aren't native to here since they were transplanted from Asia but they have a huntable population here in Southern US.) I've never had the meat from a Older Fallow buck but I am told they are pretty sporty as well. I know the Doe are quite tasty though

4 Whitetail doe
2 Whitetail Bucks
3 Cow Elk
2 Bull Moose
2 Black Bear
10 or 12 Hogs
All this was a LONG time ago when I was heavily into BP and hunted primarily with that or my Recurve. The past year or so has seen me getting back into BP on the modern side of the scale. I sold all my old BP guns years ago (and I sorely regret 2 or 3 of those sales) except for the newer TC Hawken Frankenstein rifle with the GM 1:28 twist barrel and I bought a TC Pro Hunter system and purchased a .50cal barrel for that. While I no longer hunt with a PRB, I have the utmost respect for those that do as I know for a fact how close you need to get and how choosy one has to be with shot placement. That's mostly why I get so riled up when people with absolutely NO experience with a PRB setup step up in here railing against everyone who uses them saying they have no place in the hunting community.
