Sunday, October 1, 2023, is opening day of archery deer season, and once again, the University of Illinois Extension is encouraging hunters to participate in the Illinois Deer Donation Program. This program helps expand access to lean protein through East Central Illinois and reduce barriers to healthier lifestyles.
Hunters can take harvested deer to partnering meat processes for donation. And, you do not have to pay the processing fee. For the list of local processors and more information on the Illinois Deer Donation Program, please click here.
