What does a CWD Study in Wisconsin have to do with mule deer across the West?

Results from the Wisconsin DNR’s largest deer and chronic wasting disease (CWD) study ever undertaken show that the disease substantially reduces deer survival rates, and suppresses deer population growth.
Dr. Dan Storm, DNR ungulate research scientist, reported the results of the seven-year study in southwest Wisconsin to the Natural Resources Board Jan. 22.
“People should expect to see fewer deer in areas of high CWD prevalence,” Storm said. “Deer are not going to go extinct, but there will be fewer of them.”

Christmas Roast with the Blacktail Deer Foundation

For some, Blacktail deer hunting is over for the season and now it is time to serve up that bounty.  There is nothing like warming yourself up with a fun and lively dinner shared with family and friends in the middle of winter.  I have had the opportunity to dine with our Alaskan legend, Jim Baichtal and his wife Karen, several times over the past few years and the first thing I thought of was reaching out to these two blacktail aficionados.  So, I asked Jim what was one of his favorite black-tail recipes, and oh “Deer” did we get one!!  

Shoot a Whitetail for goodness sake…

It’s Christmas week here on the Mule Deer Foundation and Blacktail Deer Foundation comms team so we thought we would have a little fun. When you waited years to finally draw that big buck mule deer tag in a stellar unit it can be a miserable time when you’re staring at an un-notched tag on the last day of your hunt.

Christmas trees and Conservation

We work across 18 states with multiple federal and state agencies looking at forests of all shapes and sizes trying to work out and implement a sustainable forestry plan.
