The deer would have to dance in a grass skirt before I shot it ..for them kinda bucks !
You would actually shoot this buck?

So does the veteran have to pay the IRS for this windfall he received. All the paper lines up. Documented cost, transfer of wealth, recipient accepted and benefited. ???????

If you pay that kind of money for a hunt, you deserve to be scammed.
You have an knack for always taking the dumbschiet view on things.
Congradulations?
The money generated from aution tags goes back into wildlife programs that help all hunters.
That's why hunters with resources spend so much on those auction tags.
Most also stoke their own ego by taking an animal on the tag but it's pretty cool of that guy to give the hunt to the Vet.

Charitable contribution.
Your interest in making sure the tax laws are followed by a disabled vet is duly noted.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.

He got a deer. He has to give the IRS a hindquarter.

If it were a true good gesture nobody would know about it.
Why?
He bought the tag at a very public auction and the hunts on AI get a lot of publicity.
We don't know what if anything else the guy does for charity but this example is one that would be hard to hide and draws good publicity for the auction hunts and veteran issues.
It sets a precedent for future auction hunts.

I'm glad for the veteran, I hope he enjoyed that hunt!!
About the declared value of the hunt: even an auctioned tag (Texas Bighorn Society) for a desert bighorn sheep in west Texas goes from $100k - $150k over the past couple of decades (auction/raffle). I don't know what the few, lucky ranchers who get a tag sell theirs for, probably about the same price.

I for one certainly applaud the premise of this whole deal, though I am cautious as to what or who the donated funds went to. I tend to distrust some of the big vendors at the SLC Hunt Expo. Sportsman for Fish and Wildlife, in particular. I have zero clue if they were involved in this situation or not.
Antelope Island is well known for its huge deer and I’d love a crack at one. Good on the lucky hunter.

Take a running leap a$$hole. The IRS has a way with rules that isn’t always moral. The charitable contribution was the dollars paid for the hunt. The hunt was then given to the vet. Good for him. The question I put out is real.

Maybe you can turn your grandma in over not filing a 1099 on that sofa she sold on EBay?
