One of the most selfless acts hunters can do for their community is donate venison from the deer that they harvest to feed the needy. After a questionable study regarding the health factors involved in venison from deer killed by traditional ammunition, the federal Centers for Disease Control ran its own study, which gave venison a clean bill of health — and the National Shooting Sports Foundation has addressed those results on its new blog. An article in the Poughkeepsie Journal highlights the welcomed efforts of one unified group of sportsmen, typical of hunting groups across the nation, that are making a difference in their community because of its venison-donation program. Despite the exhaustive federal study, Minnesota has adopted an expensive procedure of X-raying donated venison, at a cost of 30 cents a pound, before it is distributed!
