Farmers Manage Deer Program

In support of row-crop farmers located in tobacco-dependent counties of North Carolina, the "Farmers Manage Deer" program will host a series of special hunts during the 2013-2014 NC deer hunting season.

Farmers  will be paid by the program for the use of their land. 
Hunters will be charged a nominal administrative fee to provide for hunt insurance and landowner liability protection for each hunt selected.

Hunters will be asked to harvest multiple deer, keeping what they will use and donating the rest.
The program will pay the cost of processing deer harvested during these special program hunts that are donated to NC Hunters for the Hungry. 

Farmers/Landowners may inquire about enrolling their farms into this program by contacting the North Carolina Wildlife Federation program managers Guy and Judy Gardner by phone at 919 608 3386 or e-mail to: guyandjudy@ncwf.org

Hunters are encouraged to check back in the late summer 2013 to register for special hunts. 

The Farmers Manage Deer project is made possible through funding provided by the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission
