Sign up for chance to get game meat

Colorado Parks & Wildlife and Phillips County Communications Center are working together to create a donation list for game meat. Occasionally, Colorado Parks & Wildlife has wild game that needs to be put to use, preferably by donating the meat to local residents. A donation list will be an efficient way to get meat to those who need it.  

When a local district wildlife manager collects a game animal in edible condition, the first person on the list will be called. Once a person receives donated meat, that person will go back to the bottom of the list. To sign up, contact Phillips County Communications Center at 970-854-2735.
