Statement of Purpose:
The purpose for this working group was to: 1) Begin to develop strategies to assist in management of declining mule deer populations throughout the West; 2) Improve communication among mule deer biologists throughout the West; 3) Provide a forum to respond to information needs from agency administration.
Background:
In 1997, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) established a Mule Deer Working Group (MDWG) consisting of a representative from each western state and western Canadian province. Since the time of the MDWG’s inception, it has been successfully addressing mule and black-tailed deer concerns shared among wildlife agencies in western North America.
