       Venison Available


          
Scioto SWCD works in cooperation with ODNR Division of Wildlife to issue deer damage control permits to Scioto County farmers and landowners who are experiencing financial losses due to crop, orchard, or produce damage due to over-abundant local deer populations. This program allows for the deer taken under the permit to be given to groups and individuals in need. 
         We are currently compiling a list of interested people or groups.  If you would be interested in receiving the venison please contact the office.  The permitted landowners will have access to the list to contact you.  Please know a call to collect the venison could come at anytime and it will be up to you to attend to field dressing, skinning, and butchering the deer.
         This a great opportunity to obtain high quality, lean, protein rich meat for free.  Only serious commitments!  Landowners will not make a second attempt to contact anyone.  If you pass on a deer you will be removed from the list. For more information Call Scott Lewis at the office (740) 259-9231.
