I think your first line say it all I have no issue with people donating meat. Most years, I kill more deer than I can eat. Doesn't mean that I am going to stop hunting. Some people don't care for the taste and others have wives that won't eat it. Guess they should just avoid the sport all together. I have given a lot of meat to my workers, poorer families and people that don't have the money or time to hunt, but love venison. I have also donated it. I still call myself a "real hunter"

How does donating meat to hungry Texans give hunters a bad rep?

I've personally done this several times and I believe its a great cause. If I shoot 9 deer I'm not eating all 9 so why not give them to people who need it??

We have a friend that because of food allergies cannot eat beef, so we try to shoot at least one for him every year, so he has something besides chicken and turkey for meat. Plenty of does on our place, and we have the tags.

im an ahole then. i understand donating meat...but to just go kill something with the intentions of never taking a bite, and handing it off, just fer the thrill of the kill is just a disgrace to the community IMO i do hook up people that are in need but i wont ever donate meat again after that million pounds, er whatever it was, the state let go to waste however many years ago it was.

I donate deer to Hunters for hungry all the time. Am I bad person if I donate to Goodwill as well? I sure am glad I don't share camp with you. Wow, getting mad at people for giving to the needy....
If you shoot a young deer because a neighbor will shoot it, you are that neighbor.

I guess. I shoot pigs all the time and don't take a bite. Ever heard of population control?

I know that there are some programs that give the meat to disabled veterans. That is tops on my list helping disabled vets, so I will give up a tag and a bullet to feed the needy especially veterans. So Sprinkler if you'll tell me your name I would love to donate a deer in your name. I still have meat in my freezer and I was still out trying to stick an arrow through a deer this morning. If that makes me a bad person I'm good with it. But I'm still a hunter. Next time just start and finish with the words "guess I'm an a-hole er something" and you'd be just fine. You have a good one, Beijing stuck up and giving the rest of us a bad name. Good day.

I don't know what Phil would say, doesn't really matter. We need to shoot numerous deer each year in order to maintain herd and habitat health. We will keep a few, but will donate the remainder to a local food bank each and every year. Sorry if the OP disagrees with the practice, but I imagine the families receiving the deer would think otherwise.

I love venison, but I always donate some to family and friends. I also have been known to give some to my neighbor who is a widow and single mom. I guess I am a bad person and not a real hunter too.

I shoot a lot of stuff every year. We get a deer or two processed, but I'm the only one that will eat the meat. We end up giving most of it away otherwise it's gonna get freezer burned. I gave away an antelope just yesterday because someone really wanted the meat and doesn't have the money to go out and buy beef all the time. It doesn't bother me one bit about the hunters intentions, I just think as long as someone eats the meat then there's no problem. I don't let what other people think about me affect my own actions, so if not eating all the meat gives me a bad rep then I don't really care.

Yeah, charity is just horrible. Why would people help out other people in any way? I agree. People are just way too generous these days. Hunters feeding the hungry make all of us selfish people look bad. It's time we all quit giving and just keep everything for ourselves. This world would be a lot better off without all the giving, generosity, and other thoughtful crap.

Ranches I have managed needed to kill lots of deer off to get populations down and hold them at CC. I have donated 10,000's of lbs of boneless venision to food banks and the ranches paid for the processing on all of it or deer were given to needy families. One year 1 ranch alone donated several 1000 lbs of boneless venison to the local food bank. We kept what the ranch owner and workers on the ranch could eat that year and donated the rest that was not taken home by hunters. I also had a couple of guys come to another ranch and take does to their homes to process for needy families in their community. They went to the local churches and ask the ministers who was in need of the meat. They then processed it and took it to them for free. I have also given deer that were killed to a group of young guys who put them all into jerky to send to our troops over in the Middle East. So I guess the "real hunters" can look down on the rest of us who manage our herds to CC and help some needy folks along the way.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I have duck hunted for over 30 years and I hate the taste of ducks. I've tried them every way possible and they taster terrible. I give ever duck I shoot to one of the other hunters I hunt with and the times I go by meself I clean them and then give them away. I hunt them for the challenge of it, the fun of it, to watch the dogs work and the companionship of being with friends.

I don't have an issue at all with hunters donating/giving away meat. I always have more meat than I can eat between deer, hogs, and fish. I give some to my brother, dad, friends, and friends because they don't hunt but they like the meat. If you think people only hunt to feed their families, you're about 100 years behind the times.

well, I was going to go hunt this evening. was thinking of shooting a doe in an area they are severely overpopulated. Was going to donate it to hunters for the hungry or a meat ministry, but I don't wanna be an A-hole.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
