Donation, sampling and registration before processing

Deer Donation Program

DNR

Deer Donation Program since 2000: over 100,000 deer donated, over 4 million lb of ground venison; donate a registered, field-dressed Wisconsin deer free at participating processors (keep head/antlers); CWD testing required by county tier; $1+ donations at license purchase cover processing.

The processor directory flags all 57 donation sites.

Register, then process

deer rules

Register through GameReg by 5 p.m. the day after recovery (online gamereg.wi.gov, phone 1-844-426-3734, or in-person stations with a phone/computer). 10-character confirmation number beginning with "W" (format W12-345-6789). Deer may be quartered to remove from the field; only one quartered deer stored/transported at a time before registration; non-edible parts may be left in the field (new 2026). Carcass movement rules on the DNR carcass page; check other states' import rules.

CWD sampling at shops

DNR sampling map

29 processors and taxidermists in these lists host DNR CWD sampling stations. Voluntary, free statewide; kiosks 24/7, cooperating processors/taxidermists, at-home lymph node kits, DNR appointments; results typically within 2 weeks via Go Wild or the CWD results page. DNR especially wants samples from the 2026 Fall Priority Areas.

Buying a license

license sales

All licenses, stamps and permits via Go Wild (gowild.wi.gov) or license agents; some military/student/Purple Heart products only at agents or DNR service centers.

Wisconsin hunting services questions

How many Wisconsin hunting businesses are listed?

1,183: 99 processors, 342 taxidermists, 26 guides and game farms and 716 hunting shops, plus 46 agency offices.

Which counties carry the longest Wisconsin lists?

Dane County (47), Waukesha County (47) and Rock County (37).

Is any Wisconsin county left without a listing?

72 of 72 do.

What sources built the Wisconsin directories?

The DNR license sales locations app, the Deer Donation Program list, the DNR CWD sampling station layer, DNR, Forest Service and refuge office pages, the Fort McCoy permit office and Yellow Pages categories.

Why are gas stations that sell licenses not listed?

The DNR agent list has 437 counters such as gas stations, grocery and hardware stores that sell licenses but not hunting gear, so they are left out.

Where do Wisconsin hunters report a poacher?

Call or text 800-TIP-WDNR (800-847-9367), any hour.

Were business hours checked?

No, except the hours the DNR and Forest Service post for their own offices and the DNR station notes on sampling sites. Phone ahead.

How does a Wisconsin hunter donate a deer?

Register the deer, then take it to a Deer Donation Program processor; they are tagged in the processor directory.

Check the DNR text before you go

Wisconsin rules change at Natural Resources Board meetings and through CDAC recommendations, so a fact on this page can be overtaken. Open the linked DNR source before you build a trip around it.
