Salt Lake City, UT: The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) announced today that Federal Ammunition has signed on in support of the organization as a Gold Level Sponsor. Federal has been a vendor at the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo since 2014 and sponsored the event since 2017. The company is now broadening their sponsorship to support MDF’s mission to ensure the conservation of mule deer, black-tailed deer and their habitat.
“We greatly appreciate Federal’s support for the Mule Deer Foundation and welcome them as a Gold Level Sponsor,” commented MDF President/CEO Miles Moretti. “We have had a strong relationship with Federal for many years and thank them for their continued commitment so that we can work together to accomplish MDF’s mission and make a difference for mule deer and black-tailed deer on the ground.”
As the leader in mule deer habitat conservation, MDF has put millions of dollars toward on-the-ground habitat improvement and restoration to improve the health of western forests and rangelands. These projects support not only mule deer and black-tailed deer herds, but also hundreds of other wildlife species while improving water quality, reducing wildfire risk, and enhancing hunting and other recreational access. MDF also believes that promoting the hunting heritage is a key ingredient to furthering our conservation objectives. Education initiatives, such as our M.U.L.E.Y. Youth Program, are aimed at educating the public on hunting, wildlife management and overall respect and enjoyment of our natural resources.
“Federal has long supported conservation through the Pittman-Robertson excise tax but also independently backed wildlife conservation through sponsorship of conservation organizations like the Mule Deer Foundation,” said Federal’s Vice President of Marketing, Jason Nash. “The dedicated volunteers of MDF not only share their passion for mule deer but also the vast western landscape with the next generation of hunters.”
Federal Ammunition got its start in 1922 built on a culture of innovation that has continued for nearly a century. Federal is dedicated to conservation and its leadership in supporting programs that help develop the next generation of American sportsmen and women is second to none.
