CHARLESTON, WV (WOAY) – Hunters will have the opportunity to give back to the community this hunting season.
Hunters can donate the deer they harvest to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program and be entered in a contest to win a grand prize package including a bow, trail camera, gift card, and more. Donations can be made through participating meat processors.
The donations will go to food banks and other organizations helping West Virginians in need.
Bow season kicks off Saturday, and Morrisey said it is important to West Virginia’s community.
“We know in West Virginia, bow season carries a proud heritage of personal discipline, outdoor tradition, and deep rooted commitment to sustainable wildlife conservation. It’s different here than other places in a very special way. But as we’re looking out today, as we’re talking about our wildlife, our beauty, we also want to make sure reminded people we’re in an area, a time of unprecedented growth and momentum. And this is going to help all citizens of our state,” Morrisey said.
The grand prize package, sponsored by White Tail Frenzy, includes a Spartan Cellular Trail Camera, a Martin Compound Bow valued at $1,300, Vortex 10×42 Diamondback Binoculars, a $500 gift card from Leonard Truck Accessories, a $500 Blocker Outdoors/Scent Blocker Gift Card, a Trophy Treestands Hunting Blind, Whitetail Trail Mix and Lethally Addicting Minerals, and a Tudor’s Biscuit World Gift Basket along with a $100 Gift Card.
