ACK HUNTING

ACKdeer Welcomes Deer Hunters. Nantucket is a small island shared with hunters and many non-Hunters Please hunt ACK-Friendly.

ACK has few scavengers to clean-up gut piles. Please place all gut piles in composable bags, carcasses in heavy duty contractor bags, and drop in the gut bag / carcass dumpsters that are open 24/hours every day. Gut bags and carcasses ONLY – no other trash.

Harvest additional deer and donate to MassWildlife’s Hunters Share the Harvest Program. Your donations provide high-protein low-fat meals for Nantucket’s Food Insecure.
