In Windkeep we have had "Hunters Feast" for 8 years running. It is a feast
done entirely of donated wild game. It serves a twofold purpose. The money
made underwrites the shire budget for the next year, and it encourages the
local hunters to donate game. The current policy is that if a hunter donates
game toward the feast, he or she receives a reduced fee. A couple of times
someone has donated enough game for an entire course. I let their whole
family in for free. (This feast is limited to 100 reservations, and usually
the charge is $10.)
The theme is obviously hunting. We give prizes for the best garb, table
decoration, banner, etc. Last year the garb winner received a donated whole
deerskin, just tanned. In fact the deer that was wearing the hide was served
at the feast. This year we hope to make a cockatrice, if someone can find a
suckling pig at a reasonable price.
