Bush Buck as a meat ?

I have read different reports. In "Fanie se veldskooldae" by FA Venter he talks highly of it. If memory serves correct my late dad also spoke highly of it.

I ate bushbuck stew when I was younger, and cannot remember anything good or bad. It tasted gamey.

My mom is wary of old buck's meat. She says it smells old and stinks.

The biltong from the ram my sons shot didn't last too long...

Bushbuck ewes are hardly ever shot. That should be tender and tasteful meat.

3 hunts later and still no bushbuck ???
