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.

I use a HUSH approved processor. Drop it off and fill out a simple slip and that's it. No cost at all.

Is HUSH affiliated with the PGC?

Our processor stop donations through the PGC program because they required weighing in/weighing out to the ounce for every deer, not just donated ones and with the amount of specialty stuff they make it became a logistical nightmare they no longer wanted to deal with.
