Hunters can donate axis deer meat
Starting July 1, 2028, hunters can donate axis deer meat to charitable, religious, or nonprofit groups that feed people in need. The pilot operates only on an island with more than 150,000 but fewer than 200,000 residents, and pauses during a recognized disease outbreak. Hunters must complete safety training before donating; meat cannot be mixed with meat or poultry covered by federal inspection laws, and transport is limited to the kill site, processor, and recipient group. State health and agriculture officials keep authority to regulate, inspect, or ban donated food. The departments must report on the pilot each year, and the agriculture department must adopt rules. The pilot ends June 30, 2033.
