RE: NOT tootin' my own horn....just a heads-up
i think since you dontated yoru deer you should get another tag for each it is a real honerable thing to do
i bought a doe from a butcher a few years ago in ky and found out it was a dontation from a hunter for there version of hunters for the hungry andi was sick lets just say that did not last long. Congrats on your good will again.

I can shoot unlimited does in NC, this year. They'll get first pickings....and I'll get us some venison if I'm lucky enough to take a few.
Look around, guys.......I'm sure there's families in your area, too. I am the one who feels blessed to have found them.
Good luck to all.

RE: NOT tootin' my own horn....just a heads-up
That's a good thing you did Jeff.
I always donate my first deerto our "hunters for the homeless" program or other methods. Sometimes more than one, but at least one deer a year. Even in the years that I only killed one deer, I donate it. I don'tNEED to hunt, Ican always go to the store and buy my food, there are those who are less fortunate.

I've donated and given away just about every deer I've shot for the past 10 years except for one or one and a half.It's a good thing. Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry type organizations got it all rolling. It's really a great deal.

While I tend to agree with you on most accounts (respect!)......I have to disgree, here. While "I" can't fathom having that many kids.....this man and woman may have more love than I can imagine.....and want to share it. He works 2 jobs besides his preaching.....and I know I'm not the only one helping out. TWELVE kids.....and my friend says it's the cleanest house you've ever seen. They all work at it.....down to the little ones. His oldest is 20....and is in college. Wow.
I think, in general, you are 100% correct. There's always the exception. I think I found it/them. In almost every case, though....I'd AGAIN agree with you.

Good Job GMMAT. Reading your post here reminded me of my childhood days. Mom and Dad raised 15 of us, 8 girls and 7 boys. I know it must have appeared to the neighbors that we were poor as dirt and in a materialistic sense we were but looking back I now realize just how rich we were. Dad worked a good job and we raised a huge garden and canned our or food for the winter. We raised and butchered our hogs, milked our own cows and gathered eggs from the chicken house. Mom made a lot of our clothes from feed sacks. What a great life it was. They taught us to help others as well. I've seen Mom take in less fortunate neighbor kids and dress them on cold days with our clothes. As a kid, I struggled to understand that because I knew we didn't have much only to see Mom give it away. Looking back I realize now what she gave away to the less fortunate was repayed 10 fold in friends and respect in the community. Dang, I've done went and typed a novel but I wouldn't trade the way I was raised and all my brothers and sisters for all the money in the world.
