WASHINGTON — Deer hunters who donate their bounty to food banks could score a new tax deduction under a proposal that Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., began advancing Wednesday.
The legislation would allow hunters to deduct the cost of processing venison and other game as long as they donate the meat. A similar tax exemption would be extended to processors for any fees paid by state agencies or charities to clean and prepare game for serving in food kitchens.
