## Caption

Deer hunters in the Pacific Northwest got a boost this month with the announcement that the new Blacktail Deer Foundation will leverage membership, chapters, and sponsorships to conserve forest habitat from California to Alaska. ⁠
⁠
The new organization is a subsidiary of the Mule Deer Foundation, which will share its board and staff with the new organization. Membership to the new Blacktail Deer Foundation will be separate from MDF membership, and its stewardship work will focus on distinctly different habitat than that of the interior mule deer. Specifically, the Blacktail Deer Foundation will center its attention on the welfare of the Columbia black-tailed deer, which range from the Coast Range of California north through the Cascades to interior British Columbia, as well as the Sitka black-tailed deer, which are distributed from coastal British Columbia to southeast Alaska as well as Kodiak Island. Both Columbia and Sitka black-tailed deer are subspecies of the larger and more widely distributed mule deer of the interior West.⁠
