That's a great thing you did. I'm gonna look into the Hunters for the Hungry organization that others are talking about here. Thanks for the idea.

We donate every year to hunter's feed the hungry, and also my neighbor was paralyzed in a car accident and I get his family a deer every year legally of course and it's a good feeling when you help oyher's.....good luck

RE: a challenge to all deer hunters
 

James, good job. We need more hunters like you among our ranks. I give at least one deer away a year to hunters for the hungry.

RE: a challenge to all deer hunters
 

God Bless you jbwph, I have a large family, but I have a feeling this year may be the first year I will be giving venison to hunters for the hungry a program which is a state run program that has been around for years and very successful.

I will be sharing my first ever deer with friends & family. It’s a great feeling to truly provide for the family table.

However, I will be donating much of any subsequent deer taken to my parish & hunters for the hungry.

I think that it's a great cause. It also makes sure that the resources of the deer do not go to waste.

Let some tree huggin, bunny kissin person tell a family that hasn't had red meat in a while that hunting is bad. Donating the excess or even all of it ensures a broader support base for our sport & is the moral thing to do. (Justin now steps off his soapbox <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>)

Sorry - got carried away there.

What an Honorable thing to do. I am now motivated to do likewise. Thanks!!

RE: a challenge to all deer hunters
 

I was thinking I'd keep my first deer, and if I got a second with the urban permits (Ohio) I'd give it to Sportmen Against Hunger. Unfortuantely it has to be commercially ground and wraped in two or four pound packages. I'd love to give a second deer away, but if it's going to cost a lot to have it commercially processed I may not be able to. I read something at www.stickbow.com that PA is earmarking $1 on each license to go towards processing meat for hunters who donate venison and are getting rid of the $50 fee for it. I wish Ohio would do that, it'd be a lot easier for the hunters who are already paying to harvest the deer.

God bless,

Brandan,

I think that you may deduct the cost of commercial processing on your state & federal income taxes for donated meat.

The only way my parish will take the is if it is processed by a USDA approved facility. Makes sense if you think about it.
