Hunt For Double the Cause

Deer hunters are encouraged to help out local food pantries and soup kitchens by donating deer taken this fall.

Sportsmen Against Hunger is a charitable program in the Bismarck area that has arranged for deer to be processed and delivered at no cost to the hunter. Hunters are asked to call West Dakota Meats in Bismarck (221-9142), or Choice Cut Meats in Mandan (663-1888), before dropping off a deer in order to verify the SAH quota has not been filled. SAH is sponsored and paid for by the Northern Plains Chapter of Safari Club International.

In the Valley City area, the Barnes County Wildlife Club is arranging for the processing of 100 deer. The club is seeking hunters to sign up to donate one or more deer. For more information contact Perry Kapaun at 845-0564; or email pskapaun@ictc.com.

In the Harvey area, the Anamoose Wildlife Club is conducting Operation Sportsmen Relief, a program in which club members arrange for deer to be processed at cost to the hunter, with the meat/sausage being delivered to the Central Dakota Food Pantry. The club is seeking hunters to sign up to donate their deer meat. Contact Mark Friedt at 324-2812 for information.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department supports these programs and encourages hunters to participate.
