No one is born with the skills necessary to drop a deer. Hunters have special skills that enable them to help put food on the tables of families in need. Hunters Sharing the Harvest makes the donation easy.

Step 1: Shoot a deer.

Step 2: Legally tag the animal. Thoroughly field dress it and keep the body cavity cool.

Step 3: Take the entire carcass to a Hunters Sharing the Harvest processing partner and fill out a Deer Donor Receipt. See the list of participating butchers below.
