Smell of meat
I defrosted a steak. My wife says it smells bad. I say it smells like a piece of red meat you buy at the food store. She says meat should not smell at all.
Last year, my meat did not smell at all.
this year, it got up to 55 degrees at the butcher... for a few hours.
She has me all paronoid. My nose is not the best. But I can't accept that's it's rancid. looks ok.
Does your meat smell at all???
and if so, like what ??

Smells like blood i guess.
Bad meat smells bad.
Venison smells more than beef. 50 degrees for a while troubles me not at all.
A skinned deer hanging with deer with hides and or cooling will have more odor too.
Rancid is nasty,hard to miss.
The answer to your question would be a venison steak will have odor. An exception could be if it was washed repeatedly and not smelled very close.

Fresh meat
SHOULD have a smell. Raw, blood-like smell.
Rancid or rotten meat will smell just BAD. Turn-your-stomach bad.
If you have a question about it, slice off a small corner and fry it in a hot pan with oil, no salt or pepper.
If bad, it will taste as bad as it probably smells.
Don't mistake gameness for bad or tainted meat. Venison should NOT taste like Cow.
YMMV.
