BISMARCK, N.D. (G&F) – The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is reminding deer hunters to keep in mind the Sportsmen Against Hunger program this fall.

While this year’s deer proclamation allows only one deer gun license per hunter, families with more than one license might want to consider donating a deer to this worthy cause. In addition, hunters with an archery and muzzleloader license can help as well.

The list of participating processors is available on the Community Action Partnership of North Dakota website, capnd.org.

Sportsmen Against Hunger is a charitable program that raises money for processing of donated goose and deer meat, and coordinates distribution of donated meat to food pantries in North Dakota. It is administered by CAPND, a nonprofit agency that serves low-income families across the state.

Area processors that accept donations include Reister Meats in Streeter, Miller’s Fresh Foods in Cooperstown, Valley Meats in Valley City, The Butcher Block in Oakes, LaMoure Lockers in LaMoure, and Warehouse Grocery in Harvey.

Goose Processors include Reister Meats and LaMoure Lockers.
