Earlier today, a neighbor came over to talk bowhunting. We talked about a lot of bowhunting related things and then he told me he had almost a whole deer left in the freezer. Said they would be eating more than usual to get rid of it before the season opened to ensure he stayed within the law. I jokingly told him that I was out and I felt sooo bad that they would have to eat all that. Well he came back over with some ground and a couple roasts.

Then my wife asked me what I wanted for my BDay dinner. I said since it was a rainy/drizzly day, we should make up some of my chili. She went to the store to get everything and I cooked up a batch with the venison, sausage, and bacon. We just got done eating a bunch of it and I'm feeling like nothing could go wrong the rest of the day.

Just had to share (as I pass gas). Be thankful we don't have the smellernet!

No, I am old, but I can guarantee these farts are fresh off the assembly line!

Within the law?

I don't know about Iowa but it's perfectly legal here. As far as I know I have never hunted a state that it wasn't legal to transfer game. Here you are suppose to give them a form that accompanies the game but you can give away every animal that you shoot. Farmer and hunters feeding the hungry couldn't exist without being able to give away game meat.

Im guessing the law is you can't posses game from last season once a new season starts.

Am I right?

AF Hunter

BINGO! I forget exactly how much it is, but it's not much.....Like 10 lbs.

Ok, never heard of any thing like that before.

It was an attempt to keep people from killing more than they intended to consume. The law abiding hunters aren't the problem though, it's the poachers.

That, to my knowlegeis the case here in Pa. I'm going to check just to make sure.
