I generally can't tell the difference between deer/elk/caribou/moose/any other big game animal, assuming they were cared for the same way. I have weak taste buds I guess however a few bighorn that I have tried has had a very slight mutton taste to it. It hasn't been bad or offsetting at all, but is something I have noticed. It is nothing like rack of lamb IMO, as it is still a lean game meat.
I can say though that dall sheep (read: not bighorn) has been the most tender and non gamey game meat I have ever tried.
I had rack of lamb twice. The first time I thought it was spoiled. I tried it again at a different restaurant. The same. I killed a Corsican and it was the same.
I will leave the sheep for others.
