Hunters Feed The Poor
Accomplished hunter and author, Frank Minter has detailed in his book ‘The Politically Incorrect Guide To Hunting’ how hunters have a positive effect on the economy by funding conservation through licenses and fees and donating the meat harvested to the poor and disadvantaged. Here we have a story out of Ohio supporting this point.
“This past hunting season, the food bank got 198 deer, processed into 6,503 pounds of venison. That provided a source of lean protein for more than 5,000 meals, said food bank coordinator Marilyn Sloan. The food bank stocks 203 food pantries and soup kitchens throughout southeastern Ohio.”
The Second Harvest Food Bank reports that since the program was started, hunters have donated enough meat for 219,200 meals. Oddly enough that’s roughly equivalent to the amount of food Michael Moore ingests at a single feeding.
