I guess these two young bucks in Crivitz weren't worried that it was Opening Day of Gun Season - they wanted to prove who's the boss!
We at BuyWisconsinLand.com wish everyone a safe and successful hunt and a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Donating Venison
Are you a lucky hunter who always fills his tags? Is there still meat left in the freezer from last year's hunt? You enjoy spending time in the woods, but don't like the taste of venison? Or maybe you just have a big heart.
Now in its 11th year, Wisconsin Venison Donation Program, along with Hunt for the Hungry and Target Hunger and more than 140 participating meat processors in 65 Wisconsin Counties, are ready to accept and distribute venison donated by hunters. Since 2000, thanks to the many generous hunters, over 3 million pounds of ground venison has been sent to various food banks to help those in need.
Here are some tips from the WI DNR if you'd like to participate:
•Field dress the deer and register it at a Wisconsin DNR registration station prior to donating the deer.
•Call First! Contact one of the participating processors before dropping the deer off to verify the processor has space to accept your deer.
•Deer legally harvested outside the CWD management zone are registered with a silver metal tag. These deer can be dropped off at a participating processor by Jan. 10, 2011.
•Deer harvested in the CWD management zone are registered with a red metal tag. Red-tagged deer can only be donated to a processor participating in the Target Hunger program. Donated red-tagged deer are tested for CWD and only deer that test negative will go out to pantries.
•Donate the entire deer to receive the processing for free. (Head and/or antlers may be removed for mounting.)
•When dropping a deer off at a processor, sign the simple log sheet indicating your desire to donate the deer and the donated deer will be processed and the venison will be distributed to charitable organizations to help feed Wisconsin’s needy.
