Senate Bill 680 aims to create a new provision in the statutes that allows for the offering of deer to meat processing facilities for distribution to food pantries. Specifically, the bill exempts deer from existing prohibitions on the sale, purchase, barter, or trade of wild animals if the deer is lawfully taken in the central farmland zone and is offered in exchange for gift cards or gift certificates to local businesses. The meat processing facility must agree to process the deer and provide the processed meat to a food distribution service, which is defined as a program that supplies food products to individuals with low incomes.

The new legal language introduced in the bill is found in section 29.539 (1m) (n), which outlines the conditions under which the deer can be offered. This provision is intended to facilitate the donation of deer meat to support food pantries and enhance food security for low-income individuals in Wisconsin.
