The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is encouraging hunters in the state to donate their legally harvested deer to help feed Hoosiers in need.
To participate in the donation, hunters can drop off field-dressed deer at a local participating processor. Processing fees are paid for by the Sportsmen's Benevolence Fund.
These processors will then create healthy venison burgers to distribute to food banks.
In 2021, hunters donated 879 harvested deer, resulting in 45,326 pounds of donated venison.
