I have heard it tastes like elk. Has anyone ever had it that can tell me if its good or not? I did not shoot any deer this year and I am thinking about shooting a stag for some meat.

I have never had it, but have heard it is really good. Hope to have some myself before the month is up

Its great

I think it is is the best meat of the deer family wih Axis being second . As said , Red deer is close o Elk meat .

It is good but I think axis is better.

I beg to differ.

Excellent, my favorite of all.

I'd say the same when it comes to deer. Elk/red, and then axis.

But man, Axis is da bomb.

It's excellent.

Red deer is very good.

can't go wrong with Red Deer

The Red Deer I took this year wasn't much better than WT. Axis trumps it to me.

Good stuff!

We let my brother shoot a red stag this year and my parents and brother say that its GREAT meat! They send a text message to me every time they cook it just to make me drool!

GREAT MEAT

Really good .

Red Hind is much better than the stag. That's like comparing whitetail doe and buck. But red deer meat is very flavorable, but like all venison, is also very lean.

Depends on what they been eating,

Sage flat-going to taste sagey
Ceder going to have a hint of cedar


Over all stag is very similar to elk

I had some cooked in a dutch oven with some veggies and simmered in beer for several hours. It was goooood.

It's really good to eat. If you ever go to a German restaurant, look for something called "Hirsch goulasch" or "hirsch rouladen". They are excellent table fare.

Red deer meat is excellent. We have them here on our East Texas ranch, so it is often on the menu.
When, properly cooked both the stag and hind meat is delicious eating.

Will be having some hind meat hunts available soon.
