N. WISCONSIN - The Wisconsin DNR is encouraging hunters to donate deer to food pantries this season. Since 2000, the program has provided more than 4 million pounds of ground venison. The DNR is increasing payments to participating meat processors to $125 per deer, or $135 when chronic wasting disease testing is required. Deer must be legally harvested in Wisconsin, field-dressed, and registered before drop-off.
