The one common denominator in all my family's deer hunting, is that every deer we shoot is legal & will be processed, vacuum packaged & eaten by us.

I truly loath the trophy hunter that shoots a big deer in multiple states/provinces & supposedly "donates" the meat from their animal to "the needy" !

You shoot a deer, you should respect the resource & eat it.

YMMV


Interesting, Every hunter in our deer camp has 4 deer tags and many go unfilled for a variety reasons. Some hunters, including yours truly, donate a deer to the Wisconsin DNR food pantry program. My family's needs come first and we eat what we shoot, but I choose to share the bounty of the resource available to me with the less fortunate.



Right on roundoak. Same here in TX, known as Hunters for the Hungry. Great program. I usually give them 4-5 deer every year. I'm pretty sure the recipients do not loathe us.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
