I thought that this was a nice idea until until I read the "salvageable roadkill" part:sick:
SHAFTSBURY, Vt. -- When Travis Buttle, a county game warden, asked Vermont soldiers serving in Iraq what they missed, they said jerky.
"I asked them if there was anything we could send, and these guys are Vermont hunters, so they said, 'Yeah, if we could get some venison jerky,'" Buttle said.
So starting last August law enforcement officers in Bennington County began their project to get the soldiers what they wanted.
To harvest the meat, law enforcement officers looked for illegal kills or salvageable roadkills.There were also a few deer donated by area hunters. The effort yielded about 170 pounds of deer meat.
