hunterfisherman Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 How many of you all participate in the farmers and hunters feeding the hungry program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagobbln Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: hunters I've donated deer to Virginia's Hunters for the Hungry program in the past and try to support them all I can. Our NWTF chapter also sponsors a golf team in their fund-raising tournament every year (we're defending champs I might add). We also participate in the NWTF's Turkey Hunters Care program every year. We give out turkeys to needy families at Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: hunters I was invited as some one's partner to one of Ohio's controlled hunts, geez, three years ago already. Man time flies. Anyway, I tagged out on three doe and donated one to that program and let me buddy take one since he got skunked. It was all blind luck, guys who drew good areas had deer all over, and guys that didn't were out of luck. I think about 20-25 deer were donated all together. Its a good program, and combining it with the controlled hunts is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: hunters A few buddies and I thought about starting a local chapter since so many people need this food. Is there anywhere you can go to find a local chapter or start one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: hunters I plan on doing it this year. My in-laws have a farm about 45 minutes from a processor that participates in Hunters for the Hungry of NC. And the farm needs some thinnin' out so I'll do my best to donate a few this year.

hunterfisherman Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: hunters If you want to know more just look up their website and they have lots of contact information for each local chapter and a list of processors. This is a great program that does tons of good. I would encourage anyway who can to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaDeRonDa Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Re: hunters No but I have donated deer to "in need" families when I have had good years. Nothing like driving through the countryside and just signing a tagged deer over. Instant friends you become. It also lets the locals know that you are not a venison hog to an area and that the prize can be about giving, with no organization being the middleman. It puts a name and face to the giving hunter. Try it sometime you'd be amazed at the responses you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
