As of tax year 2008 you need a receipt for any charitable contribution you claim on your tax return.

Anyone can claim up to $300 for charitable donations without receipts etc on their taxes. The Federal and State Governments would put a limit the amount the can be claimed for the processors so why not set one for them. If your processing fee is $100 then that would be 200 deer per processor. I think that is more than fair. A lifetime license is a lifetime license, but pay for a second buck wouldn't make sense. You might want to check the fine print on the lifetime agreement they may have slipped a few things in their to allow them to change things. I do wish I would have bought one when the sale happned...LOL I have they can only change the seasons,and the bag limits .They however must include all future state hunting licenses or increased limits or seasons without charge as the wording is clear to what it dose cover and dose not cover .If not they would of not included the fall Turkey or extra bonus tags had they not legally been required to!The letter of a contract can be vague but this one is very clear on what they can and con not change. |

Guys, You CAN claim a tax write off for the donation of the meat to a recognized food pantry. Most just claim the amount of thE processing , but I know of some that claims the amount of meat times what it would sell for a pound IF it was ground beef. Pound of ground beef at Kroger = $2 a pound, 50 pounds of ground deer donated = $100 deduction. Ask your tax man.... Thanks Woody. I never really put much thought into it but it only makes since. Maybe DNR should include that in the hunting guides as another benifit to donating deer meat to charity. Could be several other dopes like me out there that never really thought of it  |

Tax man here, you can take the deduction at fair value but you must have some sort of documentation showing the donation.

A suggestion was put forth by Joe Bacon on another site. His suggestion..
Texas has a deer processing system using the prison system, deer hunters donate and prisoners process the meat and it is used as their meat in meals. We need funding and help with this type of program."
Here is a (State Senator) response I received in an email today....
Joe,
Thanks for your email. I would be very interested in carrying a deer processing bill for you. Keep in touch with that and we’ll get it done next year. Also, if there are other issues regarding hunting and fishing rights that you need help with, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m here as an ally for outdoorsmen.
Carlin Yoder
State Senator
Gentlemen, this is the type of legislators we need,add this gentleman to your email alert lists, His first comment in the hearing was....."I'm a deer hunter and I'm a bowhunter.
I need suggestions and help with this project if you folks have any comments and suggestions please add them here.
Here is one I came up with.......
"When schools are closed or other government owned facilities, the kitchen facilities are evaluated and if they can be used, they move to these prison deer processing facilities."
Anyone have anything to discuss or add to this?

Anyone have anything to discuss or add to this? I tried to get this started in Kentucky about 3 years ago, but nobody was interested in making it work, for one, they didn't want prisoners being provided knives. I think it would be a great idea if it could be worked out. |

Prisoners working in kitchens already have access to knives!
