Federal Ammunition has continued its longtime support of the Mule Deer Foundation (MDF). This includes committing as a Gold Level Sponsor for the organization in 2024.

“As MDF moves forward in its 35th year ensuring the conservation of mule deer, black-tailed deer and their habitat, Federal is excited continue its support,” said Jon Zinnel, Federal’s senior manager of Conservation. “MDF has a strong hold when it comes to western wildlife management, conservation policy, and public access. The organization supports many conservation efforts such as tree plantings, fence removals to create more wildlife friendly fencing, fire habitat rehabilitation work, and much more.”

The Mule Deer Foundation is dedicated to restoring, improving, and protecting mule deer and black-tailed deer and their habitat, with a focus on science and program efficiency. They are committed to sustaining western deer populations by ensuring quality habitat in the areas deer need on a daily, seasonal, and yearly basis. Learn more at: muledeer.org.

“Corporate partnerships, like the Gold Level Sponsorship of Federal allows the organization to drive more money towards habitat work on the ground. This work supports mule deer and all western species big and small,” said Seth Reed, MDF’s corporate partnership manager. “More habitats equate to healthier deer herds and provides the deer hunters better opportunities all across the western landscape.”
