Before proceeding, check with state game and wildlife authorities for recommendations regarding bones harvested from local venison (in some areas, there is concern over the heat-resistant prions that cause chronic wasting disease in deer, elk, and moose populations and the potential effect on public health).

Proceed as for Brown Beef Stock substituting 5 pounds venison or other game bones for the beef bones. Instead of water, deglaze the roasting pan with 1 cup dry red wine and add 8 juniper berries and one 3-inch sprig rosemary to the stockpot. Proceed as directed.
