Field To Table: Whitetail Deer

Description

Join Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) to discover how you can bring whitetail deer from field to table on your own and connect to your food full circle. This class will be taught by experienced hunters who put time, respect and a high ethical standard into harvesting wild game. It will be held on Jan. 11, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Farm + Food Exploration Center (3400 Innovation Dr. Plover, WI 54467).

Wild game offers diversity in flavors and nutrition. It can be the most local form of food. Hunting provides a meaningful connection to the protein we eat. This educational worship highlights the satisfaction and cost-effectiveness of self-processing your harvest. Dedicated hunters with a passion for preparing exceptional food from wild game will lead you in a step-by-step process of how to break down a deer. You will learn how to hang a deer, skin, quarter, cut, trim and package venison. Instructors will provide the best practices for storing your venison by canning or freezing.

A Wisconsin Department of Natural Resouces (DNR) biologist will stop by to answer your questions about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).

The workshop is open to adults, hunters and non-hunters alike. Space is limited to 12 participants in this one-of-a-kind BOW signature program designed specifically for women.
