Another season, another successful harvest for (shocker!).

Jim recently put his muzzleloader marksmanship to the test, harvesting this mule deer buck with a r***e that's as much a piece of history as it is a hunting tool. His custom .58-caliber muzzleloader is a replica of one of legendary mountain man Jim Bridger's last known Hawken r***es.

There's something special about carrying on the traditions of the mountain men who once roamed the West, and even more rewarding when that tradition ends with a successful hunt. Congratulations on another great buck, Jim! That's one impressive r***e, forky, and mountain man beard.

It seems like muzzleloaders are making a comeback. Who else is shooting muzzleloader and what's your states regulations (primitive muzzleloader and/or muzzleloader season)? Are you going with traditional flintlock, percussion or inline? Scopes?? Let us know in the comments.

We know how to pick the spot! Wildlife cameras captured a doe and her twin fawns in a new Mule Deer Foundation and U.S. Forest Service partner project site! The project in northeast California begins this year to remove western juniper encroachment from grassland meadows (that you can see deer need). Simply removing excess juniper here reduces severe wildfire risk, improves forage availability for wildlife, and provides water retention at three springs that support migration corridors that have been mapped for mule deer, pronghorn, and elk.

"The Hoofprint Trail:" Deer movements on the Kaibab Plateau informed conservation efforts!

Using this migration data, the Arizona Game & Fish Department and the U.S. Forest Service identified places where wildlife water guzzlers are critical for wildlife. Did you notice where deer stopped over for several weeks? We did. Over the last several years, the Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) and this partnership have placed new water guzzlers that support wildlife and livestock year round along this migration corridor.

The Kaibab Plateau has been a Priority Herds and Landscapes area for MDF to work in, and we're proud to be part of this collaboration.

Unrestricted success with the Sundt Foundation! Through their employee contribution grant-making program, the Sundt Corporation gives employees the opportunity to identify organizations and causes they care about each quarter through their Sundt Foundation, and several shared how passionate they are about wildlife conservation and habitat restoration.
Big shoutout to our Development Officer .hirst_ who submitted a proposal to this grant program, highlighting the Mule Deer Foundations (MDF) mission and conservation work throughout the Intermountain region in Utah. Unrestricted funds give us the most flexibility for determining where money can make the most impact in local communities.
This is our first grant from the Sundt Foundation, and we’re really grateful for their support and excited to continue building that relationship! If there's similar grant programs you think we should know about, email Maddie at [email protected].

"The Hoofprint Trail:" What have deer shown us on the Kaibab Plateau in Arizona?

Thanks to our cooperative GIS biologist position with the Arizona Game & Fish Department, The Mule Deer Foundation can share some unique discoveries about deer across Arizona. On the Kaibab Plateau, just north of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, this animation captures GPS-collared deer during their fall migration in 2012. Watch carefully and let us know what you notice deer are doing during this migration. We'll tell you what we saw and then helped accomplish next week!

The Kaibab North Mule Deer Herd's migration corridor is unique in that it falls entirely within the Kaibab National Forest, offering unique opportunities for large-scale conservation.

Are you taking the shot? A split second in the field can be the difference between “that’s him” and “I need another look.” Fortunately, these Stealth Cam trail cameras don’t leave much to the imagination. Sharp, crystal-clear images make it easier to identify the critters moving through your hunting area and get a better look at what’s really out there. We're curious what the buck looks like today, a year exactly from when this footage was taken.

So, take a good look...Are you taking the shot, or letting him walk? Drop your answer in the comments.

Proud that chooses MDF as a conservation partner, helping hunters and conservation professionals get a clearer picture of what’s happening in the field.
