(Wisconsin Radio Network) Donating deer to feed the hungry.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is urging hunters to donate state-harvested deer through the Deer Donation Program. The initiative helps to stock food pantries throughout the state.

Nearly four million pounds of ground venison has been processed from over 94,000 donated deer since the program began. More information is available on the DNR website. The state’s gun deer season begins this coming weekend.
