And don't forget to mark your calendar for the Doe Derby happening on December 20th. A Doe Derby is a Food Drive event aimed at collecting venison from hunters to help address the deer population issue and support local food assistance programs. Hunters can donate venison harvested from does, which will be distributed to assist those in need.
How Can You Help?
Bring your freshly harvested, tagged and reported, field-dressed does to the collection site on December 20th, 2025.  Your harvest may be donated or entered in the contests only.
Businesses and individuals can donate funds to offset processing fees or contribute raffle/contest prizes.
Volunteers are welcome for the day of the event!
Every donated doe earns a raffle ticket for door prizes donated by local businesses and individuals.
