Deer wanted

[fishuhalik]

Hey guys, a buddy of mine really wants a deer this year but won't be able to get out in the field. I was wondering if anyone on here loves to hunt but doesn't care for the meat? He's willing to meet you anywhere in the metro, and obviously he'll do all the processing and what-not. Also, is there any kind of legalities involved with something like this? I would imagine as long as it's tagged by someone, that person has the right to do whatever they want with it, as long it's used?

[mrklean]

he would need to get the possesion tag from the person who shots it, much like when you bring it to a meat place they need that tag

A hunter who doesn't care for the meat????? They'd better if their going to shot that animal!

Sorry to hear about your friend and not being able to make it out. Try contacting the local sheriff's department and get on the waiting list for a road kill...YES- some counties have waiting lists. And NO it's not gross-I've had the pleasure of my ol' man collecting a few while growing up with a house full of kids!

“Lawfully taken wild animals may be transferred as a gift if accompanied by a receipt [chicken scratched notes work too.} containing: name and address of the owner; name and address of the recipient, date of transfer, description of the gift (for example: ‘Three 1-pound venison steaks’) and the license number under which the animal was taken. The receipt must remain with the gift.” If you have further questions about donating venison to an individual, you should contact the DNR

you can't transfer a tag for possession I think.

Why is that a law? I deer hunt but I don't much care for the meat. Ill eat it but not alot of it. I just enjoy the hunt. I've given deer away to people before, mostly family, but ill keep you in mind if I can't find anyone else to take it. post on here if he gets one so we know.

You cannot transfer a license, but once the deer has been tagged and registered you can transfer possession and there is a place on the tag for changing possession of the animal. I've done this many times. It typically comes into play when taking multiple deer on bonus tags. I do management hunts and the goal is to take as many deer as legally possible.

Its early in the season, but depending on how my season goes I would be willing to "gift" a deer. I also people I hunt with on management hunts might be interested also.

I have gifted deer before and will do it again. I know people who love venison but quite frankly would scare me if they were to take up a gun to try to get one on their own. Its safer for all involved.

I give a deer or two away every year. I have friends/family that don't hunt and love venison and I love to hunt so it is a win-win for all of us.

I guess I'm the same way. Growing up we ate alot of venison. Alot. We didn't have much so wild game was a staple. Everything from duck, goose, venison, to a variety of fish... I'm 35 and have been hunting since I was 12. I've been fortunate enough to harvest many deer during my 23 years of hunting. Now my approach is more of a sit and wait for a trophy type hunt. I don't really love venison, but I do love the thrill, preperation, and execution of the hunt.

I give at a minimum of 2 deer away every year. Problem with this year is I only have two tags for archery.

I do have a Minnesota muzzleloader tag and if I do shot one, I will get back to you if you have not recieved one yet.

thanks on behalf of my buddy guys! hes expecting twins in a couple of months and is looking to cut back wherever possible, so whatever help you can be will be much appreciated.

I give away about 80% of my deer I shoot. I get some sausage, burger, and summer sausage. I eat the straps, give away several steaks and than the rest stays in my freezer and comes with me on hunting trips. I basically donate to all the owners of the land. They don't hunt but like eating the game. Couple rings of sausage and some summer sausage and a fresh pheasant keeps them happy for the year!

[fishuhalik]

Just wanted to bump this up. I can come anywhere in the metro to pick up a deer, post on here if ya get one and don't want it for yourself. Ill be heading back down to the cities on Monday evening. Thanks!
