The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) strongly supports the newly introduced bipartisan legislation led by U.S. Senators John Curtis (R-UT) and Michael Bennet (D-CO), which seeks to enhance and expedite emergency watershed recovery efforts in the wake of natural disasters such as wildfires, floods, and other catastrophic events. These bills, the Making Access to Cleanup Happen (MATCH) Act and the Watershed Protection and Forestry Recovery Act, are vital to preserving the health of our western landscapes and ensuring the resilience of communities that depend on these natural resources.
The USDA Forest Service manages nearly 200 million acres of public land all over the country. That’s a lot of ground to cover, especially when you consider the agency’s mandate to make decisions on how best to utilize and maintain the land for “the greatest good of the greatest number in the long run.”

The North American conservation model is the bedrock of all hunting and fishing tradtions in the United States. A critical part of this concept is that we, the people, own the land and the resources, which is managed through scientific management through the state wildlife agencies and legislation supported by scientific data from these agencies. Now, this is very much the best-case scenario: a state legislator sitting in the State Communittee that overseas fishing and game notices that the Turkey population has been decreasing. A member then uses that scientific data from the state agency, to propose a bill that would limit the season so they can in the long term help try to recover the population. It’s pretty cut and dry, but unfortunately, that’s not always what happens.
