#164 – Roger Lapointe & Tom Waters | Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry

As deer season approaches, there's no better time to learn how your harvest can make a real difference. This week, we're joined by Roger Lapointe and Tom Waters of Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry to discuss one of Kentucky's most impactful conservation and outreach programs.
Coming off a record-breaking year, Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry accepted nearly 5,000 donated deer and helped provide roughly 800,000 meals to families in need across the Commonwealth. With expanded deer hunting opportunities in Zone 1 counties this season, the potential to help even more Kentuckians has never been greater—but it all depends on hunters stepping up to participate.
Roger and Tom explain exactly how the program works, how simple it is to donate a harvested deer at no cost to the hunter, and why those donations benefit far more than just the recipients. Deer donations help manage overabundant deer populations, reduce agricultural damage, lessen deer-vehicle collisions, and support healthier deer herds throughout Kentucky.
Whether you've donated before or are hearing about the program for the first time, this episode will show you how one deer can have an incredible impact on your community.
