I bet the non res was minuscule.

I bet the non res was minuscule.

They probably called in their buck harvest. :smiley_coolpeace:

We killed 72 does in the largest land mass county in the state. And now the DNR is pushing the need to kill does so we can help the needy! How about refunding my tag fee if I donate my deer then if you are so worried about helping the needy...

I think that many feel that the Feed the Hungry program is not really about feeding the hungry as a primary goal

So, feeding the needy and hungry is an "unintended consequence" of the farmers feeding the hungry program?

do they stil pay for the processing of the deer if you donate it?

To a certain extent absolutely yes.

This is another method to encourage deer harvest by many that otherwise would not kill a 2nd or 3rd deer or 4th deer.

The DNR wants more deer killed, they even encourage that hunters kill more DOES for the hungry.

Ohio hunters are encouraged to hunt more does this season to help the needy in their area

I submit that more good could probably be done for the hungry by donating the money that is used to pay processing instead of the deer meat.

I donate personally to help those less fortunate than me every year, but I don't kill a deer to do it.
