Venison Melbourne Butcher

[Rubicon1307]

Having lived in Canada for the last 18 months, we've developed a taste for venison. We're coming home for good in March (can't wait!!!!) and was wanting to know is there anywhere in Melbourne I can buy venison - don't ever remember seeing it (although must say never really looked) at any butcher or Vic or Sth Melb markets. Cheers.

I know you drive past a venison farm on the way to Phillip Island. So I am sure you can get it somewhere.



Or if you are real keen you can go shoot your own deer in a State forest! But that is not for the feint hearted!



Cheers, Glen

Thanks Glen



I've also noticed there's a farm in Yarra Valley somewhere that sells wholesale and direct to general public - was kinda hoping for a game butchers or something similar in Melb metro area.



And although an avid carnivore, not sure I have the stomach to shoot my own.



thanks again

Cheers

Here are a couple of butchers in the yellow pages that claim to have venison:

I was shocked to read that some of the "private parts" of the deer are also available in Melbourne! Ouch!!

Yeah, it's up there with shooting my own - certainly don't have the stomach for it! Not even sure I want to look at the extra 'bits'.
