Thank You! Welcome to our First Annual Banquet! The Banquet Committee would like to thank each of you for attending tonight to help us celebrate our first year.
Mission The purpose of the Mule Deer Foundation is to ensure the conservation of mule deer, black-tailed deer and their habitat. MDF is dedicated to the following goals: To restore, improve and protect mule deer habitat (including land and easement acquisitions) resulting in self-sustaining, healthy, free ranging and huntable deer populations. To encourage and support responsible wildlife management with government agencies, private organizations and landowners. To promote public education and scientific research related to mule deer and wildlife management. To support and encourage responsible and ethical behavior and awareness of issues among those whose actions affect mule deer. To support regulated hunting as a viable component of mule deer and black-tailed deer conservation. To develop programs that focus on recruitment and retention of youth into the shooting sports and conservation. Do you support these goals? Get Involved today. At MDF, our goals are not just words for the Annual Report - we back 'em up with Money and Action on the ground! When you support this chapter tonight, you will be supporting habitat projects and youth mentor events that make a difference in our area. We have accomplished much in the past years and hope to accomplish even more in the years to come. Your support this year is even more important than past years as our Habitat Committee continues to get many requests for help with projects. Thank You for your continued support.
