I've never seen donated deer meat at any of the food banks being handed out. Food bank jands out "manager's special" chicken cuts and other grocery meats.
That was part of my blowing the lid of the food bank stunt I pulled a few months back, just to see.
Donated deer meat must be ending up on chinese buffets and Taco Bell. Some people donate meat just so they can tell everyone they donated meat. Maybe they are hoping the state will issue a Meritorious Bronze Star license plate for DONATED DEER MEAT.
AFAIK, all of the meat from the deer that I donate is ground into burger and sent to homeless and battered women shelters.
If I couldn't give away or donate the deer that I've shot, I'd still shoot them. I wouldn't leave them in the field, as that would be wanton waste, but I don't know what I'd do with them. I used to donate the meat to my church for their Wednesday family dinners, but some of the members complained when they realized that they were eating Bambi, so now they have more meatless meals.
I'm not seeking any recognition for my charity. I have been blessed with a great family, a great Wife, plus a little skill, foresight, and luck throughout my life and it is only right that I do something for those who have not been as fortunate. LUKE 12:48 says better than I ever could; "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.".
