Has anyone else joined up yet, seems like this has been a long time coming. I am always blown away at the lack of attention to this species. I have hunted for a few big games species in a few diff states at this point... I am convinced that there is no harder species to chase than Columbian Black Tail.

Haven't yet, but will soon. I'm also excited to see them have their own organization. By far my favorite species and like you said, one of the hardest. Certainly a lot of areas near me where habitat improvement projects could be of use.

I joined.

They're doing their best to work with the Feds on habitat improvement on POW. A much needed project. This has been through the MDF but assume it will be passed on to the new BDF

No thanks! Look no further than the lack of success the MDF has had. Can’t wait to see what tags they create “for conservation”

Best of luck to them! Luckily blacktails don’t need an organization to look after them!

Lack of success? From some basic searching it seems that they are quite the force multiplier when it comes to bringing conservation orgs together and raising funds.

Look at all those funds raised compared to our mule deer population. One fact is there are LESS mule deer now than there was when the organization was founded.

The MDF pisses away money compared to other organizations. They even have a big sector break off and start the MFF because of how terrible they were at putting “conservation” dollars back into mule deer.

Hopefully the blacktail deer foundation is a success. Have my doubts but all with due time.
