Why do you think it was 2 years old? The most common reason that venison is chewy on the table is that it is over cooked. I always have my deer hunt in a walk in fridge for at least 7 days before I have it butchered, that helps tenderize it and improves the flavor but a 2 year old deer should not be tough unless it was over cooked.
