It should be. My freezer's full of it! I've heard warnings to be cautious about lead shot, but other than that, assuming it was properly gutted, hung, butchered and kept chilled/frozen, you should be fine. Definitely make sure you cook it all the way -- that goes for pretty much any meat.

Yes, it is fine. But as with all game meat, thorough cooking is recommended. I would avoid eating anything that is too pink.
