Collections for the 2010 Georgia Hunters for the Hungry Program will begin in September. 

All hunters who donated a field-dressed deer during the 2010 collection period will be entered into a drawing for a deer rifle, sponsored by the Georgia Wildlife Federation. The drawing for the rifle will be held in February 2011 and the winner's name will be posted here.

You may participate in the future through:

1.) Drop-Back-A-Pack program (at processor locations-Sept. 11, 2010-Jan. 15, 2011)

2.) At any of the participating processors (Sept. 11, 2010-Jan. 15, 2011)

3.) Annual weekend collection sites (Nov. 20-21, 2010)

ADDITIONAL COLLECTION EFFORTS

(outside of Georgia Hunters for the Hungry)

While the GHFTH program collects a tremendous amount of deer, and has since 1993, the sponsoring partners of the program realize that there are many other donation programs that operate outside of this one. WRD would like to encourage sponsors or partners in other donation programs to contact our agency and let us know how many deer, and pounds of venison, were donated elsewhere so that we may recognize their efforts as well. To report other collection efforts, call (770) 761-3045 and provide the number of deer collected and the total number of pounds.
