Sportsmen Share the Bounty at Thanksgiving

During this season of Thanksgiving, sportsmen are sharing the bounty
of our fields and forests in many ways. Food banks need donations now
more than ever. Hunters are providing much needed protein to
Virginia's needy families by donating a deer, or a portion of it, to
Hunters for the Hungry. The potential exists to receive, process, and
distribute 500,000 pounds of venison annually to the less fortunate
across Virginia. Since Hunters for the Hungry was founded in 1991,
more than 3.6 million pounds, equal to 13.5 million servings, of
venison have been distributed in Virginia.

Do you mean hunting strictly for food, or just slaughter? Where I
lived in NY deer were so numerous people just didn't think about them
being over hunted. "City folk" from Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo
would come down just to shoot their limit, parade around the bars with
them on their trucks until they rotted, then throw them on the local
dump. That sucked and it still does.
