Adult deer from some northern counties, including Vilas and Oneida, must be tested for chronic wasting disease when donated to the deer donation program. In the endemic area and much of southern Wisconsin, both adult and fawns must be tested. Testing is free to the hunter, however. (Contributed image)

Deer donation program helps feed families
The deer donation program in Wisconsin allows hunters to donate any legally harvested deer through the program. Since the program’s inception in 2000, over 94,000 deer have been donated and processed into more then 3.8 million pounds of ground venison. Once processed, the ground venison is distributed to food pantries around the state.
