Donate an "extra" deer to Kentucky's hungry and help further wildlife conservation for the benefit of all of Kentucky. Here's how it works: After you have filled your own freezer with venison for the season, pick up an extra doe tag (Zone 1) or use one of your regular deer tags for a "doe-nation".

Deliver the deer to one of the participating meat processors. Call 1-859-824-1372 for the name and location of the processor closest to you click "Processors" on this web site or go to www.kdfwr.state.ky.us. Donate the deer and you will be providing nutritious venison meals to thousands of less fortunate people stateside. And, you will be helping the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resource manage the Kentucky deer population for the benefit of all concerned.
