Donate Your Deer

Hunters can help feed needy people throughout Wisconsin this fall by taking these simple steps:

• Donate any legally harvested deer by dropping it off at a participating processor by Jan. 31, 2016.
• Prior to donating the deer, field dress and register it and write your confirmation number on the carcass tag. Handle the carcass as if it was destined for your own table. Donate the entire deer to receive the processing costs for free (head and antlers may be kept for mounting).
• Call first! Contact one of the participating processors before dropping the deer off to verify the processor has space to accept your deer.

There are two participating processors in Door County: Haberli’s Deer Processing, 4259 Haberli Road, Sturgeon Bay, 920.743.5736; Marchants Foods Inc., 1367 Cty DK, Brussels, 920.825.1244. The program is funded by Wisconsin’s Wildlife Damage Program and hunter donations.
