I hunt for sport only now. Sometimes, I have/may make jerky and/or sausage. 20+ years ago I swear I wouldn't but today it's a different story. I have donated quite a few to hunters for the hungry. now, I've found another choice. My buck I shot, only for the contest, was donated to a carnivore preserve. He became cat food. Believe me they really appreciate it with the budget they run on. I'm still going after my monster and one day I will get him.
