Wild Bone Broth

I make bone stock every year, though I always have a hard time convincing people that it tastes good and is worthwhile. If you're motivated enough to clean them, you can even cook down the hooves for stock, too.
 
I've made tasty elk bone broth. But my attempts at venison broth have turned out tallowy/waxy and funky. I've tried blanching the bones and then roasting to get impurities out. Any suggestions to get better tasting broth with deer bones?

I split them open, roast them in the oven for a little while and then cook them down with root vegetables, herbs and some red wine.

When the water just starts to get hot, skim off the floating white junk, it is this scum that adds the off flavor, I will even dump the first boil water and start with fresh if a lot of scum surfaces. A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar helps too and also helps extract the minerals from the bones. I prefer to spit and roast them first to add flavor and a deep brown color to the broth. Makes out of this world Pho... Google Vietnamese Pho recipes for some more ideas as a beef broth is the base for these recipes.
