🦌 PASSING ON THE TRADITION 🦌

The California Deer Association – Central Coast Chapter was proud to be a sponsor of this year’s Junior Hunt at Chimineas Ranch!

This weekend was about so much more than harvesting a deer. It was about giving young hunters the opportunity to experience the outdoors firsthand while learning hunter safety, ethics, respect for wildlife, proper field care, and the responsibility that comes with being a hunter.

Our hunting heritage depends on the next generation. Teaching these young men and women about wildlife management, healthy deer populations, habitat conservation, and responsible hunting ensures that the traditions we grew up with and the wildlife we care so much about will be here for generations to come.

Watching these junior hunters put their education into practice, make memories with their families and mentors, and experience successful hunts is exactly why we do what we do.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, mentored, donated, and helped make this hunt possible. Conservation starts with education, and the future of hunting starts with our youth. 🇺🇸🦌

Congratulations to all of our junior hunters!

🦌 MORE THAN A BANQUET, IT’S ABOUT MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

Our upcoming California Deer Association Central Coast Chapter Banquet Dinner isn’t just about a great night, raffles, auctions, and bringing hunters together. It’s about what those funds allow us to accomplish right here on the Central Coast.

We’re already working to improve wildlife habitat, water resources, and overall ecosystem health throughout our local area. CDA has recently signed a Stewardship Agreement with Los Padres National Forest, opening the door for us to move forward with meaningful habitat and conservation projects on our local public lands.

This is exactly what we’re working toward with the Central Coast Chapter taking the support we receive at our banquet and putting it back into the places and wildlife we all care about.

When you buy a ticket, sponsor a table, donate, or show up to support our banquet, you’re helping put real conservation work on the ground.

🌲 Better habitat.
💧 Better water resources.
🦌 Stronger wildlife populations.
🤝 A better future for our public lands.

The work has already started and we’re just getting going.

Stay tuned for more information on our upcoming banquet and the projects we’ll be tackling throughout the Central Coast!

Conservation starts with boots on the ground. 🌿🦌
This week, our California Deer Association Central Coast Chapter team spent the day in the field evaluating potential habitat improvement projects on public lands throughout the Central Coast.
During our walkthrough, we identified several areas that need attention, including:
💧 Damaged wildlife water systems and troughs
🌱 Dried-up springs and water sources
🦌 Limited forage for deer and other wildlife
🚧 Potential fence removal projects to improve wildlife movement and habitat connectivity
These field visits are where real conservation begins. Every project starts with assessing the landscape, identifying the challenges, and working with our partners to develop practical solutions that will benefit deer, elk, turkey, and countless other wildlife species for years to come.
Our mission isn’t just to talk about conservation it’s to roll up our sleeves and make a lasting impact on the lands we all enjoy.
A huge thank you to everyone who dedicates their time and expertise to these efforts. We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to bringing more habitat and water improvement projects to the Central Coast.

If you know of damaged wildlife water systems, failing troughs, fence barriers, or habitat projects on public lands that could use attention, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can make a difference.

Seeing so many people come together in support of these efforts was truly humbling and reminds us why we work so hard for the future of our wildlife and wild places.

A very special thank you goes out to the amazing Atascadero FFA volunteers. Your hard work, positive attitudes, and willingness to help wherever needed played a huge role in the success of this event.
