I think Blacktails are sort of a new focus of the foundation here in western WA. Id encourage you to attend and help get the new chapter off the ground.

Post by: AZcoueshunter78 on January 28, 2016, 06:16:53 AM: The more the merrier! Blacktail is a new focus on the west side here and the regional director will be on hand to answer any questions everyone might have. Please show up.

Post by: Birdguy on February 02, 2016, 08:49:19 PM: Nice meeting the guys who came out tonight :tup:. We have a chapter now so let's see who is really up for the cause. Next meeting to be announced soon! For the guys who did not make it tonight we will see you at the next meeting.

Chad great job of putting this together.

Post by: westside Elkhunter on February 03, 2016, 02:27:33 PM: You guys have a set day and time for the next meeting?
Title: Re: Mule deer foundation meeting in gig harbor
Post by: jkthomps on February 03, 2016, 03:20:26 PM: Did you guys have a solid turnout?
Title: Re: Mule deer foundation meeting in gig harbor
Post by: Birdguy on February 03, 2016, 07:00:27 PM: I believe AZcoueshunter78 will post up the official date and time, but for planning purposes if I remember correctly, the next meeting will be Feb. 23 (Tuesday) at 6:30 again at the Roundtable in Gig Harbor.

We had enough guys to start a chapter and get it rolling! We will certainly welcome all who want to participate in any way. I heard the Issaquah group had a very large turnout so we have some work to do to match their numbers but I think we are up to it. The cause is the draw so come out and see what is going on and put a voice into what you would like to see. I brought my 14 year old son as he hunts with me so should certainly be involved in the conservation end as well. Looking forward to meeting more of you and seeing you at the meetings and in the woods.

Post by: Utah on February 20, 2016, 03:42:33 PM: Forgive my ignorance.. But is the Wash Muledeer Foundation just a Chapter of the Muledeer Foundation? I'd prefer my donations help Wa Muledeer. Either way its a great cause.

Thanks for any info
Title: Re: Mule deer foundation meeting in gig harbor
Post by: Birdguy on February 20, 2016, 05:34:29 PM: It is a chapter of the Mule Deer Federation but the funds will be used for Washington deer. The chapter will decide what to do with the funds raised. We are just getting started so it is yet to be determined what we will be doing with any funds we raise.

Title: Re: Mule deer foundation meeting in gig harbor
Post by: AZcoueshunter78 on March 08, 2016, 06:42:40 PM: Unfortunately not at this time seeing as how we have not had any new interest on this side of the bridge other than the 3 others that were at previous meetings. If we can get some interested parties on the peninsula that want to attend the meetings we can definately get another meeting going and get the ball rolling.
