what do you do with your game meat?

[LD375]

Hi fellas, as for me, I give about 75% of any game meat to family, friends and people that don't have a chance to hunt..Makes me proud, and puts a smile on my face :grin: ...it's been like that for the last 33yrs..I just keep a few eats for myself..I like to share my harvest with friends and close one's, it well never change, god bless, and have a great season to all!...Lou

I supply meat to a number of families that appreciate the help and appreciate the game. I take pride in hearing how excellent the meat was, and how it didn't taste "gamey."

All to my family and friends

I usually give at least a 1/2 of a elk away every year to some elderly friends of the family. I usually get at least one elk a year.

Same thing, friends and family. Most people like elk meat.

I am friends with a couple of older "retired" hunters who dont get out any more. They get a lot of venison and ducks. I work with a guy that absolutely loves geese. He puts in his order every year!

Family and friends. I also exchange for elk or deer, Salmon and Stealhead. I am not a fisherman but know several who are. My goal is to get it into others hands "BEFORE" its cut and wrapped.

I have a friend who smokes it for me and keeps half.
I will cook it up at parties for friends and family.

We have a 6 deer limit in the zone I hunt 1 buck and 5 antlerless, I have a couple older neighbors that don't get out anymore that I fill tags for and a couple friends that don't hunt but like deer meat.

It's great for me because I get to spend that much more time in the field!

There is a hunters for the hungry program here in NE that I participate it. Last year I gave to a single mother with three boys struggling to make ends meet. She was very very appreciative.

We used to eat 3 deer a year but as the family has thinned out we only need 1-2 deer per year. I find myself bringing more to work for promotion/retirement/deployment cookouts.

Most of my extended family doesn't care for the non-loin/backstrap meat.

Being the Needs Coordinator for a large church I have been able to provide a number of families with meat.
I know that it is very much appreciated!!

Blessings,

Dan, aren't you hunting now? Come on, fellow, there are elk and moose to shoot.

I gave about half to family and friends. The rest we eat.

Well, being elderly I tend to eat a lot of mine :roll: But my kids and grand kids love to visit and take home some of what ever I have (antelope, deer, elk, pheasant, sharptails, quail, chuckar, squirrel, rabbit, etc.) I also usually have a party in August to help clean out the freezer. No one ever turns down my lady's cooking

We always give canned or dry staples to the local food banks. That's what they ask for.
