| Cowboy |
Att Teeps U bet- We make ours very spicy too-also sausage--it also makes good burgers if ground with smoked bacon | ||

Most environmentally responsible thing anyone can do here in southern NY State is kill a deer ...or 50. Shame they make it so difficult to donate venison to food banks for the hungry... I'd like to get a jerky-for-the-troops initiative started, but even that evidences FAR too much red tape. Shoot well, shoot many, if you don't have tags (or if you can't stomach the though of paying the government to allow you to hunt like a free American), dress the good stuff out quietly in the field and pack it out in hefty bags in your rucksack... Lay a few pounds on the poor folks down the street. you can't eat antlers, so take does,as many as you can dress out in a day. Cook it well, as way too many pathogens can be taken in orally and via your GI system. | ||

Most environmentally responsible thing anyone can do here in southern NY State is kill a deer ...or 50. You can say that again. Took the Taconic parkway home from HH5 and there were three that could have used an ending. Even further north there's TONS of them. Every so often there are two are three in my backyard early in the morning, and around my office as well. | ||

Tramp- A few years ago here in WI you could donate a deer to a food pantry and get another doe tag and repeat if you wanted to. I donated 2 and our group donated 5 total. I wish it was still an option. | ||

Here in Pa. the Game commission ENCOURAGES hunters to share the harvest with food banks. Wild Life Officers-game wardens- often get road kills butchered and sent to food banks. Who says sending jerky to the troops has "red tape"? You must not be packaging it right! Lots of our people getting "treats" regularly! mark61 | ||

Not me, Mark- I did said I'd like to get an initiative started (ie a gov. program that rewards folks for donating venison for troops, either in the form of jerky for addition to MREs or simple holiday cured meat gifts), I didn't say i felt like sending a little jerky. Big difference, unfortunately...too much red tape. Trust me, I've sent my share of treats to the troops  | ||

Already have 3 in the freezer. Been a pretty good season so far. Iowa has a program to donate to the people that need it. I share, not usually thru the program but give some to people that need or want some venison. I still have like 12 doe tags left to fill! |
