Sharing venison with local and national organizations is a win/win proposition for everyone.

Some butcher shops will accept an entire deer while other may charge a small processing fee with the remaining venison donated to soup kitchens and other organizations that feed the hungry.

As you will see in this video from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, one operation allows the hunter to keep the backstraps and tenderloin with the remainder ground up and donated as protein.

If your luck runs off the charts, consider donating to a local organization, as the NSSF explains.
