Growing up hunting deer, I was always told that selling Venison was illegal. Is it a state by state thing?

FPNI. If it's raised commercially, for consumption. Just the same as restaurants that sell Elk, bear, ect ect. The Cabelas here has a wild game cafe, but none of the meat was ever wild.

What is the logic of selling venison being illegal?
Legitimately curious as to why. |

The article says free range farm....well hell, my deer are free range on my farm. In Arkansas, pen raising deer is also Illegal.

Just depends on the state, we can sell venison here in Montana, lots of restaurants sell venison and elk as specials during the fall. That said, they are not wild animals in most cases, they are farm raised specifically for the retail business.

it is illegal to sell deer meat or parts up here............. regarding white tails..............
there are a few red deer farms that sell venison/jerky.......... they are farmed and enclosed...........and are not the native species that is hunted in the fall. |

The venison yer eating at restaurants supplied by restaurant supply co. are pen raised and probably legal in all states. Same with frog legs. The legal issues are from lack of .GOV certifying agencies. Very few places serve goat for lack of .GOV certification. Public food is regulated........it's for the children.

Your State's EPA & FDA have it covered...
The King shall be compensated for the consumption of his deer(s). |

Might be imported from NZ too...they raise a lot of elk which they also call venison and Stag deer. Pen raised, their idea of a pen is 12' chain link fence around 100 acres.

By permit only in LA. |

What is the logic of selling venison being illegal? Legitimately curious as to why. View Quote Much of the meat consumed in the second half of the 1800s from wild game killed by professional "market hunters." Populations were depleted to the point passenger pigeons went extinct, and things like wild turkeys, whitetail deer, bison, and elk were reduced to scattered remnant populations. The Lacey Act made it illegal to sell wild game meat and parts (feathers used for women's fashion killed off millions of birds) on a federal level. Any animal raised on a "game farm" is legal to sell, however, which is where this kind of thing comes from. |

Dude I knew that farmed them had telephone pole uprights with concrete filled four inch pipe horizontal. It'd catch 'em but the dent in the pipe and the concrete powder blowing out the ends afterward was something to behold. |

Your state has shitty laws, get over it. Farm raised 'wild animals' all over the place in these parts.

this is pen raised and I'd like to add that a lot of time these meats are not whitetail deer but other species of deer.

WTF?!?!?
Columbus OH is Food Test Fast Food central. We get everything first! I guess Arby's didn't get the memo. |

If you make it legal to sell wild venison steaks, plenty of shit birds will be out taking them illegally for profit. |

We have a butcher shop here that sells it....I get a pound or two and make chili with it.

I googled wild game meats a few years ago and found things that surprised me, like lion meat. Bison, elk, deer, buffalo, kudu, boar, antelope and all sorts of other meats were available delivered to your door, just like Omaha meats sells steaks, burgers, and similar stuff.

Kind of takes away the fun of savoring the memories of your harvest with every bite.

One of the hillbilly family members that lives over the hill from me used to be a big time poacher. Guy had maybe half acre and some chickens. Owned a butchers bandsaw, but he never did any butchering for other people. It was not unusual to hear rifle shots down that way late at night, pretty much all year around. He took 28 deer hides into the Westomoreland Fur Post one season, many years ago. I was told he was selling the meat to restaurants in Pittsburgh. The guy is a thief all around (stealing firewood, fruit) and so was half the family, a bunch of thieves. He is quite old now. He will not be missed by any decent person. |
