Legends of the Hunt

By John Seerey-Lester

Sporting Classics Legends of the Hunt

Sporting Classics Magazine

Columbia, SC --(AmmoLand.com)- As the old prospector and his

friend would quickly discover, a wounded bull moose can be a swift and

deadly killer.

Throughout the western United States in the 1850s, mining camps were

springing up everywhere as thousands of men from as far away as China

and England came in search of fortunes.

Many of the tented mining camps were in wilderness areas where the

men had to hunt wild game to survive. The huge influx of people had to

be fed and though few were familiar with guns, they learned to hunt out

of necessity.

It was important to get a good supply of venison for the camps to

supplement their provisions and sustain them over the harsh winter

months. Moose, blacktail and mule deer were the favorite choice, but in

desperation the hunters would bag whatever they could find.

In the Coeur d’Alene Mountains of Idaho, a prospector by the name of

Pingree joined up with an old hunter called Purvis to get some meat for

the table. Both men were originally from New Hampshire, where they

had learned how to ski.

A heavy snow blanketed the mountains on that late-November day when

the men headed out on skis to hunt blacktails. Following tracks not far

from camp, they soon found themselves on the banks of a lake. Pingree

saw a dark shape moving in a nearby thicket and through the snow-

encrusted brush, he could just make out the form of a bull moose.

During the rut, moose can be quite aggressive and unpredictable, which

the men were well aware of. Cautiously they positioned themselves for a

shot. Purvis couldn’t get a clear line of sight so he motioned to Pingree to

take the shot. Without shifting his position, Pingree raised his rifle and

fired.

The shot only wounded the moose, which immediately lowered its head

and charged Pingree. The prospector desperately tried to maneuver

around on his skis, but it was too late and the animal was upon him.

Pingree was knocked backwards into the snow and as he struggled to get

up, the moose pounded him with his powerful front legs.

The prospector’s desperate cries echoed across the silent snowscape.

Purvis skied as fast as he could around the thicket and shot the monster

as it continued to stomp on his friend. The only effect of the bullet was to

redirect the bull’s attention on Purvis. The animal charged the

prospector, moving effortlessly through the snow. Purvis managed to

grab a tree branch, hoping to swing out of harm’s way.

As the beast hurtled past, it raised its huge antlers in an effort to gore

Purvis, but missed. The moose continued high-stepping through the

snow and was never seen again.

The old hunter went to the prospector’s aid, but found him badly

wounded, his chest crushed under the relentless onslaught of the

animal’s heavy hooves.

Purvis did what he could to save Pingree, but the poor man died within a

few hours. The entire incident, which had lasted only a few seconds,

Annapolis, MD --(Ammoland.com)- Governor Martin O’Malley joined

the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in announcing

Maryland’s Atlantic Population Canada goose hunting season will kick

off November 20.

The season will run November 20 through November 26, 2010; and

Canada geese.

“Few sights and sounds symbolize the changing of the

seasons like the first waves of Canada geese arriving from

their breeding grounds along distant Hudson Bay,” said

Governor O’Malley. “These magnificent birds are a vital part

of what makes the Chesapeake region a fabulous place to

work, live and play.”

“The Atlantic Population is the largest Canada goose

population in North America,” said DNR Waterfowl Project

Leader Larry Hindman. “A normal spring thaw resulted in a

productive hatch this year. Hunters and non-hunters alike

can look forward to seeing large numbers of Canada geese

returning to Maryland this fall.”

goose hunting zones is online at

Wisconsin DNR

MADISON, WI --(Ammoland.com)- Each year, with the beginning of

the Wisconsin bear hound training and hunting season, bear hunters are

reminded to exercise caution if they plan to train or hunt bear with

hounds.

As of September 24th, 16 hounds have been killed by wolves since the

July 1st opening of bear hound training season.

Hunters should use the caution area maps below to help reduce conflicts

during this year’s bear dog training season. Table 1 contains a summary

of the 2010 dog depredations by wolves.

Pet Dogs

Although wolf attacks on pet dogs in residential areas are rare, they do

occur and have increased in recent years. These types of attacks

represent a special kind of wolf depredation to domestic animals. For

additional guidance and information about protecting pet dogs and bear

hounds from wolves, see “Guidance for Bear Hunters and Pet Owners”.

Gun Rights Lawsuit Dumptrunkis Backing Up to Madison Police& ChiefSEP 24, 2010 12:38P.M.

Gun Owners Fight Back – Lawsuit Dumptrunk is Backing Up

to Madison Police & Chief

ICarry.org Fundraiser for Wisconsin Carry Lawsuit.

ICarry.org

Madison, Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- Please donate to Wisconsin

Carry, Inc’s efforts in bringing suits against the City of Madison,

Madison Police, Police Chief, and anyone else culpable (ICarry is

making assumptions as to whom the defendants may be).

This is for the 5 men arrested for open carrying, minding their own

business. They were NOT staging anything or trying to get arrested.

Some of these men are known to us personally, and we know their

intentions were nothing more than to meet with one another, share a

meal and conversation, and be able to exercise their fundamental right to

bear arms. These open carry meet-ups are happening everywhere, and

this one was no different.

Someone called the police to inquire as to whether or not what they were

doing (simply openly carrying pistols) is legal. Instead of informing the

caller that it is, and asking the caller if anything else seems out of place,

Madison PD sent 8 officers there to harass, intimidate, and violate many

rights of the citizens.

Wisconsin Carry, Inc. has tried to solve this diplomatically, but Madison

Police Chief Noble Wray has simply declared all-out war by charging all 5

men with disorderly conduct, despite the Wisconsin Attorney General

stating that open carry is not disorderly conduct and should not be

prosecuted!

Separately and privately, to no one else’s knowledge, ICarry.org

contacted Madison Police Chief Wray. We had a good conversation with

him, and tried our best to make progress to deescalate this situation and

get the police and law-abiding gun owners back on the same page. Chief

Wray failed to mention his decision to charge all 5 men with disorderly

conduct. Needless to say, we are very disappointed by this reaction of his,

and we look forward to the day in court everyone will have.

We are calling on the entire country – particularly the grassroots gun

rights groups like Wisconsin Carry and ICarry.org who really make the

difference these days for support in this. Wisconsin is a most pivotal

piece in the countrywide Right to Carry movement. Wisconsin is one of

only 2 states left with completely concealed carry prohibition. As such,

Open Carry has grown into a sensational movement unlike anywhere

else in the nation.

All attempts will be made to transform Wisconsin into a state where law-

abiding can choose which method to carry - open or concealed - based

on what suits their needs and personal preferences. All attempts will be

made to see this choice be a real right – no permit or license required –

like Alaska, Vermont, and now Arizona.

Wisconsin can go from red to green on the Right to Carry map in one

sure step after the upcoming election.

ICarry.org has witnessed countless open carry events – picnics, litter

pickups, food drives, rallies, and simple casual get-togethers. These

events are very spontaneous – anyone can decide to start one somewhere

and people from nearby show up. Through these events, patriotic

supporters of the right to bear arms have gotten to know one another,

shared personal experiences, shared knowledge and education,

comradery, and hopes.

Wisconsin Carry, Inc. has taken the lead to promote the safe and lawful

exercise of rights for self-defense, educating the public, and staunch

defense of open carry in Wisconsin. Through numerous lawsuits

challenging things like the unconstitutional “gun-free school zones” relic

law in Wisconsin, to blatant violations of an individual’s rights, they have

proven themselves to be an organization of action – not of words or

politics.

ICarry.org considers Wisconsin Carry, Inc. to be one of the finest

firearms rights organizations in the country. We consider ourselves

blessed to work in the same state as them, assist them when possible,

and simply share the Wisconsin Open Carry experience with them.

Please help us take the Wisconsin example beyond the border to the

many states that need carry law reform. The right to carry is sweeping

the nation, and the adamant defense of that right by organizations like

Wisconsin Carry is creating the possibility for countrywide recognition of

the fundamental right of peaceable citizens to bear arms – no questions

asked.

Please help ICarry.org raise $5,000 for Wisconsin Carry’s lawsuit and

injunction against the City of Madison today. It will make a difference for

all states!

Madison, Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- Madison Police Chief Noble

Wray has dug his heels into the sand, vowing to do everything he thinks

he’ll get away with to suppress gun owners from exercising their rights.

Rather than educating the public that open carry is legal and there’s no

need to call the police unless something suspicious or threatening is

happening, Madison PD has vowed to use INTIMIDATION to repress

gun owners exercising what’s lawful.

By promising to scare, harass, diminish and humiliate a peaceful citizen

open carrying, they have created an environment where law-abiding

citizens will be dissuaded through coercion from exercising their

constitutionally-protected rights!!!

Highlights:

• Open Carry can be considered disorderly conduct, because

someone may not like it…

• The officers acted correctly, even though they said it’s OK for

pedophiles to be around children, but not OK to open carry.

• Chief Wray has sent a memo instructing officers to engage, disarm,

and “investigate” anyone open carrying.

• The “suspect” should be identified if possible to ensure they are not

• The firearm serial should be ran to make sure it isn’t stolen.

• Disorderly conduct doesn’t require a disturbance to take place, just

a “perception” that one’s actions could possibly cause a

disturbance.

• Hands-on “Pro-enforcement approach” taken with open carriers

Have you ever wondered how things get out of hand in this country, and

freedoms are lost without due process, without legislation even, and

despite our Constitution, the highest law in the land? Well, this is exactly

how!!

You give power to imbeciles incapable of critical thinking – right and

wrong, cause and effect, limitation of power. They open their mouth, or

write their name and their foolhardy ideas on paper, and freedom goes

out the window. They are counting on zero to minor backlash from this.

Madison WI Challenges Firearms Open Carry – Open Carry

Will Prevail

ICarry.org

Madison, Wisconsin --(Ammoland.com)- 5 Open Carriers

Harassed/Arrested All now charged with disorderly conduct!!!

On Saturday, September 18th, a group of five responsible firearms

owners gathered to share company and conversation at Culvers on Town

Blvd in Madison, Wisconsin. Approximately eight Madison police

officers approached the firearms owners who were enjoying food and

discussion with one another.

Demanding identification of the gun owners, officers used intimidation

and coercion in attempts to force the citizens to provide ID. State law

does not allow officers to demand ID in circumstances like this, and

Madison PD’s very own “legal updates” explains exactly why refusing to

provide ID is not “obstructing.”

http://www.cityofmadison.com/police/documents/Summer2004.pdf

Despite this well-known aspect of law, at least two of the law-abiding

firearms owners were arrested and cited with “obstructing” charges for

not providing ID. All of the citizens were harassed in public, intimidated

and coerced, and inconvenienced and humiliated by the disrespectful,

diminishing, and suppressive behavior of Madison police officers.

ICarry.org would first like to thank Wisconsin Carry, Inc. for its steadfast

resolve to protect citizens’ rights in Wisconsin. ICarry.org is committed

to supporting Wisconsin Carry, Inc. and all responsible firearms owners

in the state.

The vast majority of officers are well-trained to respect the rights of

citizens openly carrying firearms. Over the past few years in Wisconsin, a

great deal of education has been provided for police, and police

throughout the state have been exhibiting exemplary performance. There

have been only a select few isolated incidents of failure of training or

behavioral problems with police.

ICarry.org would like to see this incident be the last. It’s time to accept

and embrace the lawful practice of open carry. There is no need to

discriminate or profile against open carriers – they should be afforded

the same level of dignity and respect as all other peaceful citizens. Like

police officers, they too carry a sidearm only for self-protection.

Gun Rights on Gun Talk

Gun Talk Radio

MANDEVILLE, LA --(Ammoland.com)- Tom talks gun rights live

from the Gun Rights Policy Conference this Sunday on Tom Gresham’s

Gun Talk (R) Radio, the only nationally-syndicated radio talk show about

guns and the shooting sports.

Tom will be interviewing speakers and attendees at the 25th Annual Gun

Rights Policy Conference this week, hosted by the Second Amendment

Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear

Arms.

GRPC is a free, three-day conference that focuses on all facets of gun

rights – past, present and future – to determine and plan out the next

steps within the gun rights communities. Speakers at this year’s

conference include Alan Gottlieb, Alan Gura, former congressman Bob

Barr, Joseph Tartaro, John Lott, Massad Ayoob, Larry Pratt, Jeff Knox,

Gene Hoffman, Dave Workman, Alan Korwin and many more!

Also on the show this Sunday, Tom talks with Senator Jon Tester of

Montana about the Senator’s recent letter to Secretary Clinton and the

State Department, regarding the rejection of South Korea’s proposal to

sell its surplus of American-made M1 Carbines and M1 Garand rifles to

the U.S.

“I count myself among many gun rights advocates who

fundamentally disagree with the State Department’s

reasoning. Rejecting the responsible sale of legal firearms

over hypothetical concerns that they could be used for “illicit

purposes” sets a dangerous precedent and it is contrary to the

Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans,” writes

Senator Tester.

And Frank Harris, VP of Sales and Marketing at Kahr Arms, drops by to

North America’s Fish andWildlife Experts to Convene inGrand Rapids MiSEP 24, 2010 11:19A.M.

North America’s Fish and Wildlife Experts to Convene in

Grand Rapids Mi

Michigan Department of Natural Resources

Michigan --(Ammoland.com)- The Association of Fish and Wildlife

Agencies (AFWA) will hold its 100th Annual Meeting in Grand Rapids

starting Monday, Sept. 27, through Thursday, Sept. 30.

More than 600 fish and wildlife professionals, including the directors of

most state fish and wildlife agencies, will be on hand to discuss current

and emerging natural resources issues.

On Monday, a plenary session will feature special guests Dr. Douglas

Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the

Crusade for America; and Tom Strickland, assistant secretary of Interior

for Fish, Wildlife and Parks and Chief of Staff to Secretary of the Interior

Ken Salazar.

Convened primarily as a business meeting for member agencies and

staff, the Grand Rapids conference will feature formal committee

sessions to discuss topics such as bird conservation, climate change,

energy and wildlife policy, and conservation education among many

others.

Michigan Department of Natural Resources and

Environment Director Rebecca Humphries chairs the AFWA

Executive Committee, as well as the Fish and Wildlife Health

Committee. “I’m very excited to showcase our state to

colleagues from across the U.S. and Canada who are as

passionate about fish and wildlife conservation as our own

DNRE professionals,” Humphries said.

Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies

Several Michigan agency directors have served as past presidents of

AFWA, including P.J. Hoffmaster from 1942-46. AFWA held its first

annual meeting in 1902 in Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone

National Park when eight game wardens from six states met to discuss

early conservation issues. Over the years, the AFWA grew to represent all

U.S. state fish and wildlife agencies to advance science-based fish and

wildlife management. Today, AFWA represents its state agency members

on Capitol Hill and before the Administration to advance favorable fish

and wildlife conservation policy and funding.

“Grand Rapids was the host city of AFWA’s 29th meeting in

1936,” said Ron Regan, AFWA executive director. “While the

city has changed a lot since then, one thing that hasn’t is the

hospitality that is pure Michigan. We thank you for hosting

us.”

2010-2012 Three-Position AirRifle Rules Now AvailableSEP 24, 2010 10:49A.M.

2010-2012 Three-Position Air Rifle Rules Now Available

Free for AmmoLand Shooting Sports News Readers.

Civilian Marksmanship Program

CAMP PERRY, OHIO – -(Ammoland.com)- The 2010 – 2012 8th

Edition National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules were released

in September 2010.

The National Three-Position Air Rifle Council•, which governs most

three-position air rifle shooting in the USA, releases a revised rulebook

every two years.

Rule changes are based on decisions made by the Council, which held its

most recent annual meeting this past June. The 2010-2012 version of the

rules includes several rule clarifications that are based on interpretations

issued during the last two years. A few changes were also made to bring

three-position rules in line with International Shooting Sport Federation

(ISSF) rule changes.

Rule changes concerning three-position equipment were also few in

number. A new Daisy replacement stock for the M888/887 CO2 air rifles

was approved. This stock features an adjustable cheek-piece and butt-

plate (once adjustments are set, they cannot be changed during a

sporter class competition). Authorization was given for match sponsors

to allow “lower-cost air rifles” at the grassroots level. New ISSF

standards for checking the size of shooting trouser seat pads and the

flexibility of shooting shoes were incorporated into the rules (precision

class clothing). Standards for checking blinders and visors were

established (see #3 below).

The following highlights three of the most significant rule

changes.

1. Rule 8.6.3 – Ties for Last Position in Final. The new rulebook now

gives match directors the option of conducting a shoot-off to decide ties

for the last position(s) in an eight-person final. This addition was made

to be inline with the tie-breaking procedures now used by the ISSF. At

this year’s National Three-Position Air Rifle Junior Olympic

Championship, this rule was added to the program so it could be

showcased at a National 3PAR event. In the precision event, no shoot-off

was necessary, but a shoot-off was required to determine the last

qualifiers for the sporter final. This was the first council shoot-off and

the event was well received by competitors and spectators. Under the

new rule, national level matches are required to hold shoot-offs, but local

matches can still break these ties by using tie-breaking procedures found

in Rule 8.6.1. Information about whether or not a match will hold a

shoot-off must be included in the match program. The shoot-off is run

similar to a final, and must be conducted as soon as possible after

qualification scores are posted. Any shooters with tied qualification score

(not including x-count) for the last place(s) in the final will then compete

in the shoot-off. This can be as few as two shooters, or there could be

several shooters with the same numerical score. Shooters are first given a

five-minute preparation and sighting period. They then shoot five shots

on command, “FOR YOUR FIRST/NEXT COMPETITION

SHOT…LOAD…ATTENTION, 3-2-1 START.” Shooters have 75 seconds

to fire each shot. Unlike a final, scores are not announced after each shot

is fired. After all five shots are completed, the range officer will announce

the five-shot totals for all shooters in the shoot-off. If possible, shoot-offs

should be scored in tenth ring values (requires electronic targets or

Orion VIS scoring). If ties remain, single shots are fired on command

until the tie is broken.

2. Rule 8.5.5 – Protests of VIS Targets. Visual Image Scoring (VIS)

such as the Orion Scoring System, has revolutionized the scoring of

paper targets by increasing the speed, consistency and accuracy of

scoring. Like any new system, the rules concerning its practical use have

continued to change as experience is gained and situations arise that

warrant change. Rule 8.5.5 concerns the protest procedures for shots

scored by VIS targets. Instead of challenging the entire target as was the

rule in the previous edition of the rulebook, the new rule states that a

specific shot or shots must be protested. Obvious errors, such as when

the computer program picks up the wrong shot location, multiple shots

on the same bull, or when a paper tear is picked up as a shot, can be

brought to the attention of the Statistical officer and changed without an

official challenge. If the competitor believes that a shot without an

obvious error was scored incorrectly the shot must be officially

protested. Shooters must be very confident in their protests, however,

since there is now a two-point penalty per protest if the whole number

value of the shot does not increase. The Council’s decision to impose a

two-point penalty for lost score challenges was adopted so that the score

protest procedures for VIS scoring would be essentially the same as they

are for electronic (EST) targets where there has been a two-point penalty

for lost score protests for several years. The two-point penalty also is

intended to avoid slowing down the match when some competitors

attempt to “buy points” by protesting several shots that must then be

rescored. The incentive is now very high for shooters to only challenge

shots that they are convinced should be a higher point value. If stated in

the match program, a protest fee (of $3 or less) can be collected for each

protest. If a shot is protested, the scan for that shot is then re-evaluated

with a “protest algorithm.” If the shooter is granted the point, the fee is

returned and score adjusted. If the original score remains the same, the

fee is not returned and two points must be deducted from the score of

the protested shot. All results of protests are final and cannot be

appealed.

3. 4.7.7 – Headgear and Blinders. Competitors now need to be more

mindful of the way in which they wear their caps or visors while

shooting. If a hat is pulled down too far, the sides may be considered side

blinders. While side blinders are permitted under Rule 4.7.9, they are

restricted to being no more than 40mm deep (downward direction), and

also must not extend past the center of the forehead as seen from the

side. To prevent cap bills and visors from being pulled down so that they

become illegal side blinders, Rule 4.7.7 was updated to state that when a

hat or visor is worn, the area on the forehead between the eyebrows must

be visible from the side of the shooter. Range officers will be able to

check by coming to the side of shooter in position. From that viewpoint,

they can quickly determine whether the hat or visor is high enough on

the shooter’s head. It is also important to note that the cap or visor is not

permitted to touch the rear sight. Some floppy visors or hats may hit the

rear sight, so shooters should place their hats in such a way that they do

not touch the sights.

The 2010-2012 8th Edition of the National Standard Three-Position Air

Rifle Rules, with the most recent changes approved by the National

Three-Position Air Rifle Council, is now available in printed version or as

a downloadable *.pdf file. The new rules may be accessed immediately

through the CMP website at http://www.odcmp.com/3P/Rules.pdf.

Printed copies of the new rulebook may be ordered from the CMP at a

cost of $2.00 each.

The National Three-Position Air Rifle Council continues to urge all

coaches, competitors and match sponsors who have questions about the

three-position air rifle rules to contact the National Council Rules

Hotline. If you have questions or recommendations concerning the rules,

contact Vicki Donoho at vdonoho@odcmp.com or 419-635-2141, ext.

Waterfowl Hunting Interviewwith Mossy Oak Pro StaffMember Cory DukehartSEP 24, 2010 09:39A.M.

Waterfowl Hunting Interview with Mossy Oak Pro Staff

Member Cory Dukehart

Mossy Oak

WEST POINT, MS --(Ammoland.com)- Q: What is a good call for

beginners?

A: For ducks, I typically recommend double reed calls. The double reed

duck call is what I call the training wheels of duck calls. Now this doesn’t

mean that a veteran should not blow a double reed, but they are easier to

learn on in my opinion. The double reed allows the caller to lean on the

call more and give it more air without the fear of slipping a bad or

scratch note.

For geese, I would start out with and continue to use short reeds. There

are a few manufacturers out there who make great flute style calls, and in

the right hands they can be deadly. But in my opinion the easier style to

learn and continue to progress on is the short reed style goose call.

Q: How can I learn how and when to call?

A: Learning how to call is a lot easier than learning when to call. To learn

how to call takes nothing but practice and lots of it. These days there are

endless websites with calling instructions and online lessons. There is

also an abundance of calling instructional DVDs/CDs on the market. If

you do not have someone who you can practice with to help you correct

bad habits, I would recommend purchasing one of these DVDs or CDs

and listening to the sounds that the caller is making. If you have access

to a local refuge or park, it doesn’t hurt to go and listen to the best

teachers of all, the birds themselves.

Learning when to call is a completely different story. And no one can

really teach it to you. The only way to learn when to call takes time in the

field watching the birds.

Mossy Oak Pro Staff Member Cory Dukehart

Q: What is the best way to set up if I only have a limited

number of decoys?

A: Having a limited amount of decoys to use is not always a bad thing

depending where you are in the country and the time of the year you are

hunting them. One of the best ways to use a smaller amount of decoys is

in the early season. I would set them up in small family groups, 3 or 4

birds per group, and then about 10-15 yards away another small family

group.

Q: What is your favorite way to hunt ducks?

A: My favorite way to hunt ducks is in a field from a lay down blind.

There is nothing like working in a group of about 20 mallards and having

them practically land right on top of you before you call the shot.

Q: What do you do if ducks or geese are “short stopping” your

decoy spread?

A: One thing to do is to jump on your call really hard and fast. Get really

excited on the call. This doesn’t always work, but I have had success with

it in the past. Typically it will pick the birds back up and allow them to

drift the few extra yards you need to make the shot. The key to this is to

make sure you do it before they actually land. If you see the birds about

to set down on the edge of your spread outside of gun range, make sure

you hit them with the call then before they get on the ground. Once they

are on the ground, there is not a whole lot you can do to get them closer.

Q: What is the best call to use for pressured or “call shy”

ducks?

A: I don’t know there really is a good call for “call shy” ducks. If you have

to blow a call make sure it’s a quiet one and use it very sporadically. I

would try to stick with slow, relaxed sounds, single quacks, pecking and

clucking. If the ducks are call shy and everyone hunting around you is

calling a lot, your best move might just be to shut up and see what they

do with silence. They might just come right to you.

Georgia Hunters Help FightHungerSEP 24, 2010 09:14A.M.

Georgia Hunters Help Fight Hunger

Fifteen collection sites now available for Georgia Hunters for the

Georgia Department of Natural Resources

SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- Since 1993, hunters have

been bringing meat to the tables of those in need through the Georgia

Hunters for the Hungry program.

This successful program celebrated serving its one-millionth meal in

2007 and continues to provide opportunities during hunting season for

hunters to share their harvest with those in need.

Currently, hunters can donate deer at fifteen participating processors

through Jan. 15.

“The Georgia Hunters for the Hungry program is one

opportunity for hunters to demonstrate their generosity by

sharing their harvest with those in need,” said John W.

Bowers, Wildlife Resources Division assistant chief of Game

Management.

“The Division is proud to be a cooperator in this public-

private partnership and to work with the many partners who

make it possible each year.”

Wildlife Resources, along with the Georgia Department of Corrections,

Georgia Department of Agriculture, Georgia Wildlife Federation and the

Georgia State Association of Food Banks sponsor the program.

Thanks to these partners, and to the efforts of Georgia hunters and

participating meat processors, nearly 30,400 pounds of venison were

collected, processed and distributed to food banks across the state in

2009. This meat provided approximately 152,000 meals for needy

Georgians. Since the program’s inception in 1993, more than 288,282

pounds of venison have been donated.

Hunters interested in participating in the GHFTH program can bring

field-dressed deer to any designated drop-off location. All hunters who

donate a deer during this collection period will be entered into a drawing

for a deer rifle, sponsored by the Georgia Wildlife Federation.

The GHFTH program has extended donation opportunities to include

the “Drop Back a Pack” program. This opportunity allows hunters to

donate some of their processed venison when they visit the processor to

pick up their meat. All participating GHFTH program processors will

have a freezer indicating where hunters can “Drop Back a Pack” for the

program.

The following fifteen processor locations will accept deer or

commercially processed venison from Sept. 11, 2010 – Jan. 15, 2011
