They are a non profit in SC that donates venison to the needy. They might be willing to point you to some land owners that would be willing to let you hunt their land if they knew you would be donating the meat to charity.

Haz & Tom, you both have valid points..... :o :o :o :o :o

I think it all depends on the hunter being asked (and how) and the person asking for help and where you are in the country.

I taught my boys to be good hunters...I also first taught them to be good sportsmen.

For example, my younger son is the perfect example of the 'worker' that Tom mentioned earlier.
He is the quintessential 'outdoorsman', and at only 18, has probably more time in the woods than I did at 20. He stays in the woods year-round and starts prep work for deer season months in advance. He cuts shooting lanes in thick brush and monitors trails with game cameras and scouts for miles. His work pays off as he takes several nice deer each year. But, when season rolls around, he's always the first to invite a friend or take someone else to one of his stands if that person doesn't have a place of their own to hunt (even at the risk of having one of 'his' trophies 'shot out from under' him).

I know a lot of hunters like Haz mentioned too, but not all hunters are jackasses (might be the area you live in).
You just have to ask around enough to find the right one.
Don't give up.

Haz, come on up...we'll hook you up...... ;D

Careful what you ask for Peg,  I might actually take you up on that.  What is the season there?

Off the top of my head, archery is in now...black powder in 2 weeks (I think)......rifle/handgun at the end of October.
I'll have to check the regs....we have a long season due to over abundant population (12 deer limit per hunter, 10 doe & 2 buck).
If we don't thin them out, they are easy to get diseases.
We have a lot of Florida hunters going to western Georgia to hunt.

Here's another 'teaser' for ya........

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

Dinner on the hoof!

WOW! 12 per season!  I don't give a darn about a rack I am a meat hunter.  Couple of deer in the freezer would be real nice! ;D

I just looked up the license and it's very reasonable. 80 for three day or 210 for a year for out of state and big game tag.
