Oregon State Fundraiser The Oregon State Fundraiser was held on June 20, 2009, in Redmond, Ore., at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. Weston Jefferies, pictured right, won a rifle at the banquet. Regional Director Ken Hand’s wife Olive had donated the rifle and actually won it back on raffle. She then decided to donate it back to the youth raffle. Weston approached Olive prior to the youth drawing and thanked her for donating the rifle, then commenced to tell her he was going to win it. He is one happy little camper. Congratulations! Eastern Oregon / Western Idaho Banquet Bugling Bull Game Calls attended the annual banquet for the Eastern Oregon/Western Idaho Mule Deer Foundation on Sat. night, July 18, 2009. The banquet was attended by some 200 folks with a passion for mule deer. The night consisted of a catered dinner, silent auction, live auction, door prizes and raffles. Bugling Bull Game Calls was joined by a couple of taxidermists and an outfitter, all sitting amongst the numerous deer heads and racks on display. Attendees of the banquet browsed around looking at the displays and talking hunting with us throughout the night. This was a great event for all, and Bugling Bull Game Calls will continue to support the MDF. Sincerely, Oregon Projects
In June 2008 four volunteers from Klamath traveled thirty miles north of town to fence a guzzler. This guzzler happens to be in a grazing allotment and the old fence was mostly lying on the ground. Several posts had to be replaced and blow downs cut to clear fence line. In summer 2008, the Dalles chapter submitted a project titled “White River Mature Buck Collaring.” The study’s purpose is to find where deer using wildlife area’s winter feeders are summering. The Ontario chpter is keeping tabs on the Juniper Reservoir Project scheduled for spring 2009. Seedlings have been ordered from the nursery for delivery next spring. Seeds donated by LaPine will be planted via drill by BLM employees. Bend will soon be assembling their second decoy. This one will have robotics to add a little realism. Now they are looking for a project to spend this year’s chapter rewards on. LaPine has been very busy on projects, pouring out much blood, sweat and tears. Upcoming Banquets and Events
Chapter SpotlightPaulina Peak To start with, and also to familiarize you about the area that the Paulina Peak Chapter calls home, it’s important to know that LaPine, Oregon is smack-dab in the middle of the biggest migration area of mule deer in the entire state. Therefore, one would assume that the support for an organization like MDF would be huge. And you would be right in your assumption as before the Chapter was started, the now Chapter members went through LaPine and the surrounding towns nearby with a petition to see the interest in starting a local MDF chapter. The end result ... over 150 signatures by those people who felt that it was great idea – thus, the Paulina Peak Chapter was born. More ... |
