In 2021, hunters donated 215 harvested animals amounting to 9,841 pounds of game meat for hungry families in Wyoming. Food from the Field is a partnership between Wyoming Hunger Initiative, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming Department of Agriculture, and participating processors to streamline game meat donations to food pantries statewide.
Donations have made a major contribution to fighting hunger in Wyoming. All deer and elk undergo appropriate chronic wasting disease testing to ensure safety prior to entering the food bank system. Hunters wishing to participate in the program may sign up and be part of a raffle to win a Commissioner’s License to support the initiative. The deadline to do so is March 11th at noon.
