Some less fortunate folks in our great state have been hit hard this year. One way to help out fellow North Carolinians is by donating your legally harvested deer to the N.C. Hunters for the Hungry program. Drop off stations at approved meat processors across the state make it convenient and easy to donate.
Deer taken to processors must be in acceptable condition and in a form compliant with agency transport rules.
Any deer harvested within a Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance area must be tested prior to donation or the deer's head must be provided to the meat processing location for sample collection to test for CWD.
