Fish and Wildlife Announces this Season’s Sportsman Against Hunger Deer Donation Sites

The Division of Fish and Wildlife again will be participating in the Sportsman Against Hunger Program. All donated deer will be processed, and the meat distributed to participating charitable groups.

Recently, the Division finalized the deer donation locations for participating hunters. The Division maintains five walk-in coolers where hunters may drop off their deer. These coolers are checked daily, and all donated deer are taken to the Sussex County prison where they are processed.

Any deer dropped off at a cooler must be field dressed and registered, with the registration number written on the field tag attached to the animal. This will allow the Division to verify that a deer has been registered. The coolers are located at:

New Castle County
Augustine Wildlife Area

Kent County
Woodland Beach Wildlife Area

Sussex County
Redden State Forest
Assawoman Wildlife Area
Trap Pond State Park

Successful hunters may also take their deer to any of the participating private butcher shops found throughout the state.
