Celebrating the Hunters Who Feed Families

DoeDash celebrates Michigan hunters who are helping manage our deer herd, put venison into family freezers, and make a difference in their communities.

This One's for the Doe Hunters.

For years, hunters have been asked to help manage Michigan's deer population. DoeDash gives them a reason to come together and celebrates the hunters willing to do it. Bring your qualifying doe. Get registered. Hang it on the Doe Pole. Meet other hunters. Check out the Vendor Village. Grab some food. Learn something. Win some prizes.

EVERY HUNTER MATTERS. EVERY DOE MATTERS. EVERY FAMILY IS WELCOME.

One Day. One Big Doe Pole.

From a Hunter's Harvest to a Family's Freezer.

DoeDash is working to connect available harvested deer and professionally processed venison with families who would appreciate having it in their freezer.

Event Details & FAQ

When is DoeDash?

Sunday, December 13, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM at Muskegon Bowmen's Club.

What deer qualify?

Does harvested during the three days before the event or on event day may qualify. All deer must be legally harvested and properly tagged in the hunter's name. Official verification happens at check-in.

Do I have to donate my deer?

No. Hunters may keep their deer. Donation opportunities are available for hunters who choose to participate.

Yes, provided each deer was legally harvested and meets DoeDash eligibility requirements.

What if I cannot attend Sunday?

Qualifying deer can be dropped off at Muskegon Bowmen's Club December 10–12 from 6:00–9:30 PM.

Does preregistration register my deer?

No. Website preregistration helps us plan attendance. Harvested deer and tags are registered and verified through the official DoeDash check-in process.

How does the Family Freezer Program work?

Families may register to be considered for available donated venison. Registration does not guarantee venison; distribution depends on donated deer, processing availability, and program resources.

Before You Bring a Doe.

DoeDash celebrates legal, ethical harvest. Deer must be properly tagged in the hunter's name and will be verified at official check-in. Multiple qualifying does are welcome. Hunters may keep their deer or choose an available donation option. Event rules and prize eligibility are subject to final check-in verification.

Preregistering online does not register a harvested deer. It simply helps the DoeDash team plan attendance and communicate event information.
