How It Works

Why Deer?

• America’s deer population, which numbered 20 million in 1990, has increased to 34 million in 2000. (over one million in N.C.)

• Crop damage sustained by farmers and deer-auto collisions have risen dramatically.

• The NC and other state Wildlife Resources Commission have increased the harvest limits.

• Hunting was found to be the only cost effective method of controlling and maintaining a stable deer population.

• These factors have resulted in a surplus of nutritious venison that can be utilized to help feed the hungry in North Carolina..
