Deer hunting is making a comeback statewide and around Door and Kewaunee counties. The Department of Natural Resources reported 810,233 deer licenses sold, 559,591 for firearms deer hunts. That's a 3.2% increase from 2019.  Area venison processors expected to be busy this year.  Jerry Theys, the owner of Theys Venison Processing, says that was confirmed the opening day of the nine-day firearms season.

Hunters are being reminded that they can help people in need by donating extra venison to the Hunt for the Hungry program.  Venison processors can provide additional details on how to donate.
