Right after I went through my first divorce, when I had ripped my left rotator cuff, pec muscles and arm muscles, I put an ad in Bozeman craigslist for hunters help. I knew from experience that there are hunters that like hunting more than they can use or sadly some wives that dont like wild game meat. I had more deer offers than I could use. I gave each a box of some of organic jarred goods like polish dill pickles, marinated garlic, jam and a bottle of wine I made. One hunter gave me a deer and I ripped out a cheap broken nylon zipper from his backpack and installing a heavy duty metal one as a thank you.
So I know what hunter generosity means personally. Even though I couldnt hunt those two falls, I was still able to eat wild game all year long.

A new article on the hunter generosity:
Charitable or unethical? Hunters Against Hunger stirs debate
I disagree. I think hunting wildlife is the best way to ethically treat an animal and as an omnivore, descended from hunting ancestors (teeth to prove it), hunting is our heritage and part of our evolution. While she may choose a vegan or vegetarian life choice, she no more has the right to force hunters to eat vegetarian as hunters would if they tried to force others to eat meat. Thats absurd.
Not to mention that many vegetarians never take into account agriculture land and wildlife displacement or destruction. When talking about donating time to helping the hungry, she must not understand travel time, hunting time and time to take the game to a processor as time donated.
A very filtered and myopic perspective, in my opinion.

I quit reading at Campaign specialist for PETA.
It's ridiculous how contorted some people get when trying to complain about charity and good will to all.
So very proud of Montana. There's more funding for families who need some help and there are tens of thousands of pounds of quality protein feeding folks. What's not to love?
