Mule Deer Foundation Shatters Arizona Record
Highest Bid Ever For An Arizona Statewide Special Mule Deer Tag
Jan. 19, 2005, Tucson, Ariz.?The Jan. 15 bid of $134,000 during the Mule Deer Foundation?s annual convention in Reno, Nev., is the highest amount of money ever raised by the auctioning of a coveted Arizona Statewide Special Mule Deer Tag. One hundred percent of the proceeds, which eclipsed the old record by $8,000, will be returned to the Arizona Game and Fish Commission/Department to help fund its mule deer management and habitat-enhancement efforts.
?We are extremely excited about the projects we will be able to fund, and the difference they will make in Arizona?s mule deer population,? said Todd Rathner, Southwest Regional Director for the Mule Deer Foundation. ?And, it was truly an honor to showcase Arizona?s unparalleled mule deer herd at our national convention.?
Arizona is legendary for its mule deer, and the Kaibab and Arizona Strip regions of the state in particular are known for producing massive bucks that continue to break records. The Mule Deer Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that resource remains for generations to come.
The tag allows a licensed hunter to take one antlered mule deer in any legal hunting unit in Arizona from Sept. 1, 2005, until Feb. 28, 2006, making it one of the Southwest's premier deer-hunting tags. ?We are looking forward to working closely with the Arizona Game and Fish Department to improve mule deer habitat statewide,? said Bob Jacobs, MDF Flagstaff Chapter Chairman.
For more information about the tag, how to apply for project funding or any other details, contact Todd Rathner at (520) 404-8096 or by e-mail at [email protected]. For information on the Mule Deer Foundation or its growing chapter network, visit its website, www.muledeer.org .
The Mule Deer Foundation is a national non-profit 501c3 organization, with more than 10,000 members dedicated to stopping the decline of mule deer.
