The Mule Deer Foundation, along with SFW and other Conservation organizations have started feeding mule deer in the Northern Utah area along with DWR. They have broken the areas up into differnt units with certain leaders for each. Here are the priority areas at this time and the team leaders:
Ogden Valley - Mike Laughter MDF
Morgan, Henefer, East Canyon - Mike Laughter MDF
Cache Valley - Greg Blotter SFW
Kamas - Mike Laughter MDF
The individual Conservation groups & members have put aside any differences and are working together in an uniformed and cooperative manner to get this important work done. This really is a group effort!
I have spent the day with Mike Laughter (MDF) on Sunday up in the Ogden Valley and again today (Monday) with Mike Laughter and Mark Glauser (SFW) breaking through snow and feeding deer in the Ogden Valley as well as taking feed to set feeding locations in Henefer and East Canyon. We will continue doing this until the threat of high deer mortality, because of the snow depth has been decreased to manageable levels.
The specific feeding locations are being manned by local individuals that can feed on a daily basis. They feeding locations are also remaining quiet as to keep the general public from massing in those areas to view and disturbing the deer more. These feeding areas are benefiting critical winter range areas.
The feed is a mixture of corn and alfalfa pellets that will give them protein and calories to get through as a supplement to the nature habitat they are still able to get to.
There has been talk about wanting to donate. If you wish to do this, please send your donation to:
