If you don't find anyone to provide the meat to you can always donate it. I'd have to check to see where the drop off locations are as I haven't looked for a couple of years. Sandyview Farms in Spruce Grove used to take in game for the program as well as another place in Edmonton.

Nice Gesture!

I've given it to the Food Bank in the past.

This may seem a little odd, but try posting at local college or university residences. My sons and their buddies get much of my game, and they are eager for it. And many students have little $.

Default Good on you

This type of charity does more for a positive "hunter" image .Next time an anti starts spouting mention the widows and needy you are helping to feed.I've been doing the same for years.Because you don't go to bed hungry or have to decide between bills and food doesn't mean others have it so good.Thanx You Sir!............Harold

I realize I will take heat and it is a very nice gesture but here is a thought.. Take what you need. Perhaps a few more will grow up to replentish our herds. I know the supp tags are available for a reason but only my opinion..

Best of luck whatever you decide.

think he meant that he hopes you fill them in a zone that hasn't been hammered the last couple years. Good gesture, you cut and wrap it as well???....
