Adjam5 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hey guys...Last week on Martin Luther King Day. Five hunters(including myself) from surburban NY went to a Church in the heart of NYC to feed about 300 people at a soup kitchen. The president of the Sportsmans Federation of Rockland county was able to secure 300lbs of ground venison through the Venison Coalition. I sit on this federation as a county rep for NY Bowhunters. This group consists of shooters, hunters, trappers and fisherman who are involved in and try to stay on top of anything and everything outdoor related in our county. We meet monthly and also run the countys Friends of the NRA event. Feeding the hungry at this soup kitchen was a very rewarding experience. I have always tried to help those less fortunate, but that was always with a monetary gift. This time I actually gave my time, and came away as a richer person. It was a great idea to put some faces/hunters to the venison served. A good portion of the night we were all bombarded with questions about hunting and how to "catch a deer". I love when people use that term;). Anyway...I would do this again. As a hunter and concerned citizen. I got to see the end line use of the venison donated and served. Please support the venison donation program if there is one in your state. That deer meat helps so many people. Here is the article that was printed in Saturdays local paper on our good deed.

Ravin R10 man Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Educating the public of the benefits of hunting & conservation is a good thing, and having the hunters right there serving and answering questions is a great idea. The paper did a good job of reporting the event too, especially with todays liberal media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 That's awesome. That's got to be one of the best ways to keep our hunting tradition from taking on negative publicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Good job Anthony, a great cause to be involved in. You definitely are a class act. We hear the use of the phrase "catch a deer" around here from time to time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
