(PR IMAGE PHOTO)Culled deer venison - often overlooked or left to waste - is being turned into gourmet pies. What sets the award-winning chef's pies, sausage rolls and dumplings apart is their fillings: wild venison, boar, goat and even Flinders Island wallaby. Hunting for food, as opposed to trophy killing, will be a focus of the Wild Deer Expo at Lardner, in west Gippsland, from October 11. While Ms Barrett has perfected game meat pies, Mr Lynch said venison schnitzel was also a winner.
