If the raw, thawed venison smells bad, then it is. Don't eat it. It wasn't treated well after the kill, and there's nothing you can do to bring it back.
Venison should NOT have a "gamey" taste. The meat can be tender or tough (most find doe meat is much better than buck, and a lot of a rutting buck's and all of an old buck's meat isn't good for much besides ground meat and sausage), but if it was treated properly from field to freezer, it should smell as fresh as anything you'd get at a butcher. Life is too short to eat bad venison. If it's bad, chuck it. if it's still borderline then soaking in milk might help, but only a little. Grind it up and use it in chili and spaghetti sauce.
The flavor of meat comes mostly from the fat content, and venison has very little fat (make a hamburger from lean ground beef, and another from the fattiest ground beef you can find, and you'll see the proof of this). What fat venison DOES have is a waxy substance that tastes awful and should be trimmed completely. Mixing gound venison with ground beef is a good idea (Meatballs with beef, turkey and venison mixed are great.) if you are making a venison roast, try scewering several slices of bacon on the roast. This will provide some fat in the cooking.
You can save the rendered fat from beef (you get a lot from some roasts or when pan frying ground beef) and add it to vension chili, stew or other "saucy" dishes. This helps enormously to bring out the flavor of the venison.
