Hunters Feeding Michigan
If you can’t fit another deer in your freezer but still want to get outdoors and hunt, consider donating your harvest to Hunters Feeding Michigan. Check out the list of processors who partner to provide venison to local food banks. Please call a processor prior to drop-off to ensure they will accept your donation. All deer must be legally harvested, harvest-reported and whole to be accepted for donation.
Harvest reporting
Deer hunters are required to report a successful harvest within 72 hours or before transferring possession of the deer (to another person, a processor or taxidermist).
Reporting your harvest takes about three minutes and provides critical information for managing Michigan’s deer herd.
