I thought commercial sale of venison or other game meat is illegal, otherwise poachers would run wild.
Don't know about that, but back in the day before selling striped bass for food was made illegal in NJ we'd take our catch to the back door of one of the many seafood restaurants and they'd pay us a dollar a pound. Back in the days of 25 cent drafts and 50 cent burgers, and a dollar admission to see Bruce before anybody knew who he was, a 20 pounder was your goin' out budget for the week!
