Our Mission
TO ENSURE THE CONSERVATION OF MULE DEER AND THEIR HABITAT AND TO PROVIDE SUCH SUPPORTING SERVICES TO FURTHER THE SPORT OF HUNTING AND SOUND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT.
The Muley Fanatic Foundation: Established in 2012
The Muley Fanatic Foundation continues to make tremendous strides in advancing its mission through efficient, community-driven efforts that are simple in structure yet profound in impact. Our unique funding model—returning and allocating 70% of the funds raised back to the area where they are generated—ensures that local supporters see the results of their commitment through meaningful conservation projects in their own backyards.
The rapid growth of MFF is a direct reflection of the value people place on conserving our wildlife, protecting critical habitats, and preserving our hunting heritage for future generations. We are committed to engaging local communities, volunteers, sportsmen, landowners, and agency partners to ensure mule deer conservation, responsible wildlife management, and the future of hunting remain at the forefront of both discussion and action.
Conserving mule deer is a lifelong investment—one that requires dedication, collaboration, and a shared vision. Every habitat project completed, every research initiative funded, every youth introduced to the outdoors, and every partnership formed strengthens the future of this iconic Western species.
Simply put, the work of the Muley Fanatic Foundation is about safeguarding the opportunities that make living and recreating in the West so special. Together, we will continue to build support, invest in science-based conservation, and be part of the solution that protects mule deer, their habitat, and the outdoor traditions we cherish.
Conservation is more than hunting or maintaining healthy wildlife populations—it is a responsibility we all share.
