Awesome.
We allow a hunter to use our property in exchange for a share of the meat. As you said, you can’t get more local than that! We have a contract that we write up at the beginning of every year and have him sign with things about safety and respect for the animals. So far, it’s been fantastic, and our hunter has really gone above and beyond the contract by bringing us deer jerky, and going out of his way to show respect for us and the land.
