Does this bother anyone else like it bothers me?

I think it's a nice gesture.
That's being said, I wouldn't feed it to my dog.

Edit: Now I see what your question was.

Shoot what you will eat, no need to shoot another just because you have a tag.

[Lefty-Canuck]

Another person goes on to ask..."is it freezer burnt?" To which the first replies..."I dont know I haven't unwrapped any to check"

A stupid waste of good meat, is what that means to me.

aahhh!!!, the benefits of the good old supplemental tags.....

[KWO]

Bothers me a lot.

[burbotman]

Bothers me as well, what a waste. If you are not going to eat it do not shoot it.

[edmhunter]

^^^^^^Touche!!!!

[conan]

There is probably some less fortunate families that would gladly take it.

I agree it is a huge waste of meat and these are the kind of people that give other hunters a bad name. But I don't think it's fair to say that's what supplemental tags do. Just because you don't think there should be supplemental tags. Lots of people get great use out of that extra meat. Me personal, I have shot one doe in the last four years due to low numbers in my area.

Back on topic complete waste of meat and people that let meat spoil like that should have there licence taken a way for a year.

My annoyance comes with the fact this person didn't check the meat to see if it was still edible...I have had the odd pack of meat get mixed in and "misplaced" for up to 3-4 years....I unwrapped it and it was still very edible. If wrapped properly and stored in a good freezer meat can last a few years. Now not sure if this person assumed it wasn't fit for humans because it was 2 years old? Because they didn't check for freezer burn...that I know.

I just was taught that if you kill it you eat it (varmints and predators except of course)....just seems like an awful waste to me.

It's not going to waste if someone claims it. Really one of you guys should try and get hold of that awesome sausage making material.

Hal, if I had to wager on it, I would place my money on it being a guy who buys a tag and hunts for the kill, and maybe the camaraderie, but doesn't enjoy the meat, as opposed to a guy filling extra tags.

I know a few guys like that, but they always make sure they give the meat to someone who will use it.

Hope you are right, very likely you are....

This bugs me a lot. Same as when hunters kill more than they need just to give the meat away.

[LKILR]

Too many people out there killing with no intentions of eating it! It's a total waste of meat and opportunity for ethical hunters to harvest some game for the table. I see this all too often! People pretending to be hunters. They just want to kill. They don't care about the meat.

[CritterCommander]

Maybe they had it butchered at Gour Mart and read these threads!

From what I read only one guy had a problem at gourmart, should be good then

[davesilva]

Yes this bothers me hunting is becomming a trend city idiots in their sweat pants wearing Camo shooting deer and not even eating it if I didn't like the taste of deer I wouldn't even bother

[trooper]

I had a friend who had much wild meat in his freezer in his garage. His freezer quit on him. by the time he discovered it, wow what a stench! made us gag and eyes water cleaning it out.

[whitetail wheeler]

I bottle 1/2 or more of my deer and make sausage and keep the chops for frying usually waste nothing.

[Kevlak]

It's really too bad, some people just enjoy killing the animal, and don't want to put in the effort to do anything else, including eat it. If your not into it for the meat, don't bother.

Could be some woman giving away her exs bounty. Maybe he's in the clink.
Maybe moved back home....
Could be many scenarios. Death? Illness.
I still don't like it either but I have no doubt the meat will get used by someone.

[dmcbride]

It bothers me. Eat what you shoot or at very least give it to someone else who will.

[freddy27]

Not a 100% sure but isn't that illegal? maybe they got the Suffield fed tags and they need the freezer space. Sorry couldn't help myself. Yes that upsets me to no end

[pacs5]

Would this not be covered under this regulation?

http://albertaregulations.ca/huntingregs/genregs.html

allow the edible meat of any game bird or big game animal (except cougar or bear), to become unfit for human consumption.

Not as long as they don't pay for it.
