Day Camps (2008) To those who are in the field of wildlife and fisheries management, there is no secret about the alarming trend that is facing the future of hunting and conservation.

Theodore Roosevelt Elkhorn Ranch Acquisition (2007) In 2007, the MDF had a chance to become part of something truly monumental. A number of conservation groups, government entities and private companies were coming together to acquire the remainder of Theodore Roosevelt’s Elkhorn Ranch lands. Some of the traditional ranch lands have been in public ownership as part of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the Badlands of western North Dakota. However, 5,200 acres were owned by private landowners. The Ebert’s family had approached several entities in the interest of selling the property. Due to the market value of the land, none of the sale propositions had become a reality. More ... P.L.O.T.S.

Chapter SpotlightsThe West Dakota Chapter: Moving Fast Right Out of the Gate! Since I’ve been involved with the Mule Deer Foundation, going on some eight years now, I’ve always paid close attention to where there are locations of chapters across the country.

Over the last few years there have definitely been some positive changes in the amount of chapters in these states, especially in Montana and Wyoming. This seems natural because of the mule deer populations that exist from border to border in these two states. More ...

Being the first chapter in North Dakota and starting with less than fifteen members in the entire state, the growth in the MDF that the chapter has brought to the state has been tremendous. Presently, there are hundreds of members, and three new chapters have started this year alone. This presence that the MDF has in the state is no doubt a result of years of hard work, dedication and desire by the volunteers of the NBC. More ... |
