In case anyone was wondering, the credit is $50 per carcass. It applies only to licensed butchers and meat packers who have a contract with an approved charity to process donated deer carcasses to feed the hungry. Pretty obscure question, but not hard to answer.

JTQ questions 1 and 3. ATA question 7. I lost on question 8.
