 against the law to serve game meats at an event where payment is required to

 (even passers-by) for no cost.  >>

I have never heard of this rule, and apparently neither has the Shire of 
Montevale, which serves venison at at least one feast per year.  I have also 
served venison at events, most recently in September 2000, and attended a 
number of other events at which venison and other game meats, including 
rabbit, small game birds, and other game animals have been served.  I have 
also been to restaurants which serve venison.
The only rule I know of is that you can't usually buy venison; you have to 
have friends who are lucky hunters :-)

PS.  I am emailing this comment to my brother, who is on the Pennsylvania 
Fish and Boat Commission, and should have the contacts to tell us if this law 
exists in PA.
