Dixie Deer Processing

05/03/2026

Big news for hunters here in Columbus/Bladen Counties and surrounding areas! 🦌

The NC Wildlife Resources Commission has updated the 2026-2027 CWD Surveillance Areas, and our area is NO LONGER under the previous surveillance restrictions. That means many of the transportation and carcass movement restrictions we’ve dealt with over the past few seasons are being lifted. 🙌

For those of us in the deer processing world and hunting community, this is a huge relief. We know firsthand how confusing and frustrating some of the old rules could be for hunters trying to legally transport deer and get them processed.

According to NC Wildlife, the updated surveillance areas are now focused mainly in northeastern NC counties, and there will also be NO mandatory CWD testing this season thanks to strong participation from hunters across the state. Over 23,000 samples were collected in each of the last two seasons.

As always:
✔️ Continue reporting sick deer
✔️ Dispose of carcass waste responsibly
✔️ Keep supporting conservation efforts

Even though the restrictions are being lifted in our area, we still fully support continued CWD monitoring and conservation efforts. At Dixie Deer Processing, we will continue voluntarily submitting samples for testing whenever possible because protecting North Carolina’s deer herd is important to all of us.

The hunting tradition we enjoy today depends on staying proactive, informed, and working together as hunters, processors, and wildlife officials to keep our deer population healthy for future generations. 🦌

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has announced updated Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) surveillance areas for the 2026–27 deer season. Four counties, including Edgecombe, Halifax, Martin and Pitt, have been added, while 11 others have been removed after years of negative test results.

CWD cases remain relatively low statewide, with 33 positives in the 2025–26 season. Testing will stay voluntary, but hunters in management and surveillance areas are encouraged to submit samples before consuming venison.

As we say goodbye to this past year and welcome in a new one, we just want to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year 🎉

This past year has brought its fair share of trials and tribulations. We’ve faced things we never expected — losing our garage to a fire, losing multiple beloved pets, car accidents, and even being backstabbed and betrayed by people we once trusted. It hasn’t been easy, and there were moments that tested us deeply.

But it also brought growth, blessings, and reminders of why we do what we do. We were able to rebuild with a new skinning area and garage, make it through another busy deer season, and continue doing what matters most to us — serving our community.

We’ve been honored to take in donated deer and help provide food to those in need through Dixie’s Harvest for Hope, and that purpose alone makes every hard day worth it.

We are beyond grateful for our customers, employees, supporters, friends, and family who continue to stand behind us. Your encouragement, loyalty, and kindness mean more than you know.
Here’s to a fresh start, renewed strength, and big things ahead. 2026 — this is our year. 🦌❤️

From our family to yours, we wish you a happy, healthy, and blessed New Year.
