The not-for-profit program, Sportsmen Against Hunger, reports that hunters in South Dakota donated 97,000 pounds of meat to local food banks to feed the hungry. Donations were mostly venison. The program covers meat processing costs, although some hunters donate those costs as well as meat to the program.
Well done, South Dakota.

The social benefits of hunting include deer population control and additional state income. But another significant benefit is a more directly human one: hunting feeds the hungry. Hunting families can sustain themselves through the winter on what they kill during white tail season. And several non-hunting families can benefit from what hunting families can bring to the table.
Havalon Knives would like to highlight three organizations that accept donations from hunters – and then pass processed venison on to families in need.
The group Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry help cover processing fees and state that one deer can feed up to 200 people. For more information on FHFH, click here.
Safari Club International has a program that promotes venison donations to food pantries. For more information on SCI, click here.
And the NRA’s Hunters for the Hungry has brought “hundreds of thousands of pounds of venison to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food banks.” For more information on NRA’s HH, click here.
Ohio is allowing a bonus weekend to the hunting season this December 19-20th. Think of what a donation could mean to a hungry family this winter.

Thirty-seven years ago, Congress recognized the day as a day to celebrate the hunting and fishing sports and show respect for the men and women who participate in them. In honor of National Hunting and Fishing Day, Wonders of Wildlife, the museum and home base of National Hunting and Fishing Day, released three reasons to respect hunters and angler.
What are those reasons?

Celebrate outdoor sports this September 26th for the 38th annual National Hunting and Fishing Day.
Since 1971, National Hunting and Fishing Day has been recognized as the ideal time to introduce new hunters and anglers to the outdoor sports world. As well as an established resource for children, men and women who are new to outdoor sports, National Hunting and Fishing Day is also a day to praise hunters and anglers for their leadership roles in fish and wildlife conservation.
Wonders of Wildlife in Springfield, Missouri is the official home of National Hunting and Fishing Day. The museum coordinates public education and awareness campaigns to promote traditional outdoor sports.
