The SWC Deer Program was blessed with the opportunity to share venison harvested by local hunters to families in need today. Eighty pounds of nutritious, safe (CWD-free certified) venison was distributed to patrons of the Fuquay Varina Emergency Food Pantry, Saint Bernadette’s Catholic Church, and Pine Acres Community Center in Fuquay Varina.
The harvest of white-tailed deer, a renewable natural resource, is key to managing deer numbers and reducing the spread of deer diseases that can be spread when too many deer inhabit confined areas.
