Legends of the Hunt

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,

Maryland Department of Natural Resources
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
December 16 through January 29, 2011. The daily bag limit is two
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.”
Information on waterfowl hunting and a detailed map of the Canada
goose hunting zones is online at
http://www.dnr.state.md.us/huntersguide/lwfchart.asp. The 2010-2011
Maryland Migratory Game Bird Hunting Seasons flier is also available

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.

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.

“This unique venue, combined with southern charm and

The Ninth Annual Shooting Industry Masters will be held July 22-23,

“We are honored Rockcastle Shooting Center was selected to

Shots to $57,000 in two years. In all, the Masters has raised nearly

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 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.

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
