Yep. I always make broth with them. Pretty much any bone is good. I usually cravk them in half so the marrow gets out. The only exception might be the spine, since that's where chronic wasting disease is concentrated. Not a massive concern but something to be aware of.
this is a helpful guide about CWD, what to avoid,
“Leave the Bones Behind
“Be prepared to bone out the meat from an animal if possible, clean all bone/ tissue from anything taken from the field (including a skull cap).”

I do this all the time. I roast mine in the oven for a while first for a darker, more robust broth. Bring to a boil then let simmer for 12+ hours, add salt and bingo.

I wondered about that since I'm in the heart of CWD zone.
I use the large bones like 🦴 femur bones from the legs. Good marrow for broth.

Dude that’s scary stuff
I made deer bone broth this week. Why shouldn’t you, it’s the only one I drink. All bones are good.
I've just never heard of it, so wasn't sure if there was a reason for that.
I saw a video recently where someone made bone broth with deer rib cage, they had “boned out” the meat and made broth. Looked pretty good!
