The plains appear tame as a saddled horse and wild as a mustang in the same instant. Looking out over rolling hills and grazing deer everything seems possible and notching your tag appears a certainty. Hours later on your tenth blown stalk of the day, out of water, and running from a rattling sound under a rock, you are suddenly surrounded by the wild land Hugh Glass crawled across after being mauled by a grizzly 200 years ago.
In the MDF Employee Spotlight Segment the Mule Deer Foundation would like to call attention to a specific MDF employee, and bring their efforts to the forefront of our messaging. These staff members are pivotal to the Mule Deer Foundation accomplishing our mission and it’s important that we recognize them as often as we can.

Below we break down the Mule Deer Foundations packing list for a backcountry hunt with gear recommendations for each item and encourage you to give it a try for your next tag.
