Advertisment for Gifting Meat?
I did a search and think I have my answer but I know there's some folks more in tune with legalities on here. I want to hunt deer with my son, but he took a moose in early October so it's safe to say we have enough meat for the year. We just don't need a deer. I am thinking of putting an ad in the classifieds that states that I will hunt a deer for someone with no strings attached. I buy the tags, take a deer and deliver the skinned carcass to whoever asks for it free of charge with a transport letter. Seems simple enough, thoughts?

Might be more simple to find an approved butcher and donate to the food bank.
Or go chicken hunting instead.
This should get interesting.
Just a thought. If you do this via kijiji, get ready for some rude emails sent your way.

Make sausage or jerky from the deer. A deer doesn't take much room in the freezer and jerky goes pretty fast. I tend to not hunt anything else when I have enough meat for the year. If I don't need it, I don't kill it.

I hear ya Daco. We're not fans of chicken so we don't hunt them anymore. The problem is in my area is that there's no butcher that will cut up wild game. You have to de-bone it yourself and take it in. If I go through that process...well it's cut up already. Why would I pay them to basically wrap it. And our local food bank doesn't take wild game.

Sounds like a plan to me. Outfitters do this on a huge scale, maybe one of them can weigh in on the best way to go about it.

I like to find seniors that are living on a fixed income and give them the meat. If you have a seniors society, or a social services agency [hospital] someone there might be able to help you find someone that really needs the help.
You would be surprised how many widows are living hand to fist.....
We found a lady that cooks for seniors with disabilities....we fill up her freezer and they all eat better for it.

Not sure what your relationship with the local res is, but you could donate to elders out on the Cold Lake reservation too.

That's because most guys that offer what you are, are just trigger-happy losers that love to kill stuff but don't want the meat or to have to deal with butchering.
Good on you for having the right intentions. Hopefully you find someone that really does need the help.

Great idea here! Most seniors love wild game meat and would be happy as heck to get it. I've donated bear meat this way before and everyone was happy.

Meat
How long is it going to take some people to say gee where are all the bucks,maybe a better idea would be to donate the money you would spend on tags ,just my 2 cents.

The concept of offering to hunt for someone else has an odd taste to it.
I am a meat hunter... this means I could just call you and sit at home and wait for my meat delivery, with no cost to me? I ask seriously, I have leukemia and a bad heart so for me to go hunting for myself, by myself, is a little concerning, because of the effort required. Just dragging a 250 lb. deer a 1/4 mile takes me 2 days to recover..
What a country!
It seems sort of wrong but yet I would gladly take a donated deer. It takes me about 4 months to eat a deer, so maybe I should order three deer so I have enough for the year. Or maybe someone could donate me a moose, a deer, and an elk.
If you have enough meat, shoot your deer with a camera instead. It is still hunting and encountering the animals.
If you have enough meat shoot a target instead.

Or, where are all the deer in general? Populations aren't all that great right now.
I like your suggestion best.

Not everyone hunts....not everyone is a hunter.
The hunters job is not to feed the masses....sharing is one thing but with herds and such in the state they are at....NOT shooting those extra animals during the tough times helps to ensure the tough times do not last longer than needed.
I have purchased and filled supplemental tags in the past, but for at least 2-3 years I have not even purchased them....for me personally it just doesn't feel right to fill supplemtmal tags where I hunt.
For some maybe those are the only tags they buy and rely on those to feed their families and that's fine too.
