Most, if not all, states offer some sort of "feed the hungry" program, in which hunters can donate their deer. I don't know how it works in other states, but the big problem with that in Missouri is, save about 35 bones that the MDC covers, the hunter has to pay the processing fee.

Now, I don't think the processors should donate their time, they deserve to be paid for what they do. But here's the question.

Would you be in favor of the price of your deer tag going up, let's say, $2, as long as that extra dollar is guaranteed to be used to cover processing fees? I know I sure as heck would. Missouri, like most states, needs a ton of does killed each year. I kill 1 or 2, but I pass on far more because;

1. I won't eat that many
2. I cannot afford processing on that many deer each year.

So I would, without question, be in favor of such a thing. How bout ya'll?
