In the MDF Volunteer Spotlight segment the Mule Deer Foundation would like to call attention to a specific MDF volunteer, and bring their efforts to the forefront of our messaging. These volunteers are pivotal to the Mule Deer Foundation accomplishing our mission and it’s important that we recognize them as often as we can.
Hunting in the Backcountry with only what you can carry in on your back can be an incredibly fun way to gain access to pieces of property not easily accessed. However, this self reliance sense of adventure also adds a level of complexity you don’t find when hunting via truck or base camp. 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.
We sat down with Hannah Leonard of Sporting Lead-Free to discuss nontoxic ammunition choices for big game hunting. Hannah is a great advocate for conservation and the hunting community. I may not be rushing to fill my gun safe with copper shells tomorrow, but after speaking with her, I am definitely looking into some options.
