Now's the time to think about where your venison (if you're lucky enough to score) will be going. I'm sure many/most/(if not all) of you LOVE the whitetail as table fare.....as we do. But we have liberal limits and a long season. I found out 1/2 way through my '06 season that I either needed to stop hunting (I'd killed what I thought we could eat) or find somewhere for the meat to go.

Nowadays......I donate meat to a family of 15.....to my neighbors......and to my co-workers. I'm set....and couldn't kill too many deer for it to be a problem.

If you have plans to shoot more than your family can eat, though.....it seems like the ethical thing to do is find someone else who can utilize the meat. Nothing unethical....as long as the animal's being eaten by someone.

Youmight also check with your pastor. He might just know ofa familythat may be in need.....but wants to keepthat needhidden. How awesome would THAT be tohelp them?....even anonymously (as we do).

You've still got some time, now, though. Just something to think about.
