I should get paid for that too. : )
Nice try, but deer only emit greenhouse gases that would have been emitted anyway--and the energy you get from eating the venison is broken down and emitted by you as carbon dioxide (and other digestive gases that we won't go into).
But I do think a bunch of bike people could get together and pool those carbon offset credits. How many cyclists would it take to offset a few tons of GHGs? Maybe we could spend spend the money on a big venison BBQ?
