Venison currently refers to the meat of deer. Venison is one of those words like cotton, gay or naughty, that have had their meaning changed with time.
Venison's Latin root "venatio" refers to "hunting game", thus venison could mean the meat of any animal hunted down. The word was still being used in this context in the 19th century as "kangaroo venison".
