IGY6 Fighting Famine Hunt Program
Help to Set the Sun on Hunger in Africa & New Zealand
As a registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit in the United States, IGY6 Veterans Benefit has worked closely with White Lion Safaris to develop this program. It is common knowledge that at the conclusion of a safari, the meat not consumned by the hunters and hunting camp gets distributed in many ways. Often times the staff will receive some for their families as part of their employment package leaving the rest to be donated or sold. Through this collaborative program, White Lion Safaris has agreed to donate the meat generated by the hunts done through their outfit to combat malnutrition and famine in South Africa. Similar programs aim to help one or two select places, but this initiative will make meat available throughout the Northern Cape, Limpopo, Free State, and East Cape Provinces of South Africa.
This program is also in effect now in New Zealand through Doddsy's Hunting!!! Hunters can now enjoy these same benefits while hunting with us in Oceana. The meat generated will be donated throughout the whole of the country with emphasis on the South Island with the onset of this program.


How Does it Work?
Each animal species has been assigned a weight value in pounds based on historic data of what is left once the lodge and staff have been given their portions. As hunters participate in their safari, the species hunted continue to build in weight towards their overall donation. At the conclusion of the hunt, hunters need only contact Luke at Gerhart Outdoors to help facilitate receiving their tax receipt from IGY6 Veterans Benefit.
In South Africa, if a hunter harvests 1-6 animals, they will receive $3/lb for their donation. When they harvest their seventh trophy animal, the value of their donation will double to $6/lb. This benefit is applicable per hunter, not household/hunting party.
In New Zealand, if a hunter harvests 1-2 trophy animals, they will receive $3/lb for their donation. When they harvest their third trophy animal, the value of their donation will double to $6/lb. This benefit is applicable per hunter, not household/hunting party.
