Last time I tried to donate a deer was the last time.
Had to be professionally butchered and all meat ground to 3 lb packages all labeled and dated  with the processors ID- then had to be delivered to the shelters kitchen at a pre determined time within so many hours of being butchered.
All the while on the phone getting my instructions a certain tone and attitude came through loud and clear.
It was like==If you reeeeeally want to donate this is what you must do.
Actually was going to do it but the negativity turned me right off.
Have always felt a real anti was on the phone,
Same place was always happy for a Ham or Turkey.
