Responsible Energy Development Campaign in Wyoming

The Mule Deer Foundation signed off on support for recent ads and correspondence that speak with the collective voice of sportsmen from across the country about responsible energy development and applaud the actions of Wyoming Governor Freudenthal.

The ad lists a total of 82 endorsees, including 29 sportsmen's groups, 6 professional organizations and 47 hunting/fishing businesses. Groups range from local to national.

A final thank you letter was publicly unveiled in nine newspapers around the state, with timing selected to coincide with the Western Governors Association meeting.

To view the final advertisement (with all endorsees) and the formal thank you letter sent to Governor Freudenthal visit www.wyomingwildlife.org.
