Sharing the Harvest
It was a bow hunter who first came up with the idea – a way for Missouri deer hunters to share the bounty of their hunt, with those in need. Since 1992, the year Share the Harvest began, the result has been and continues to be, thousands of pounds of ground venison that go to those in need each hunting season.
