A huge thank you goes out to all the sponsors, attendees, and everyone who generously donated items. Because of your support, the money raised will go towards important conservation and habitat projects for our state’s deer and wildlife.

We truly appreciate your involvement and look forward to many more successful events together!

We wanted to share this incredible tule elk opportunity with everyone. Purchase tickets now for a shot at a five-day guided hunt on the Central Coast. The CDA Chico Chapter is selling just 400 tickets. Best of all, if all 400 are sold before our 30th anniversary banquet and auction on March 21, we'll draw the winner that night -- otherwise the drawing will be held June 4. Please share the word about this fundraiser to benefit California deer herds and other wildlife. California Deer Association

Thank you to the sponsors, the attendees and all who donated items. We're still tallying up the totals but it's a good bet our area raised six figures for conservation and habitat projects for our state's deer and other wildlife. Thank you all.

Interested in a trophy deer hunt in California but don’t want to wait 20 or 30 years building up points? You’re in luck. The CDA Chico Chapter is auctioning off a three-day guided hunt for two people on the renowned Bell Ranch in Tehama County.

The Bell Ranch participates in the state’s Private Land Management program. That and limited access on the ranch make this a rare opportunity.

The Bell Ranch hunt is one of many amazing auction and raffle items at the annual CDA Chico Chapter Banquet and Auction, scheduled for Saturday, March 15, at the Chico Elks Lodge. Get your tickets today because the dinner will sell out. Read more about the banquet and how to purchase dinner and raffle tickets at https://caldeer.org/event/chico-banquet-3/.

The annual CDA Chico Chapter Banquet and Auction is recognized statewide for its incredible raffle prizes and auction items. Case in point: The Golden Opportunity Deer Tag.

The special fundraising tag, provided by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, is a highlight among the hundreds of auction and raffle items at the dinner, scheduled for Saturday, March 15, at the Chico Elks Lodge.

The tag is a golden ticket, allowing the purchaser to hunt statewide on any lands legally open to deer hunting. The tagholder may take any legal buck, using any legal method of take. Proceeds from the sale go to the DFW for its wildlife programs.

Tickets to the banquet are selling fast and the event is likely to sell out, so get yours today. Read more about the banquet and how to purchase dinner and raffle tickets at https://caldeer.org/event/chico-banquet-3/.

The Park Fire continues to rage, burning more than 370,000 acres in Butte and Tehama counties. The loss of more than 100 structures is devastating. So is the loss of some beautiful wide open spaces, including the Tehama Wildlife Area, Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve, Ishi Wilderness and other wintering spots for our eastern Tehama deer herd. These are places we hiked, fished, camped and hunted -- or sometimes just drove around, enjoying the beauty of it all. In the comments here, please post a favorite picture of those amazing places. We'll start. Let's hope the critters and habitat somehow avoid the worst.
