Special guest, Scott Leorna, Alaska Regional Conservation Coordinator for the Blacktail Deer Foundation (BDF), will introduce BDF and share the exciting conservation work they have planned in Alaska to improve Sitka black-tailed deer populations and their habitat. Scott will provide an overview of Sitka black-tailed deer and the habitat challenges they face, highlighting the Sitka Black-tailed Deer Pre/Post Treatment Monitoring Project and its critical role in developing effective habitat restoration efforts across Southeast Alaska. This project is designed to provide a comprehensive, long-term monitoring strategy to assess the impact of habitat enhancement activities on deer populations and their habitat and inform adaptive management strategies. Through collaborative partnerships and community involvement, the project aims to provide actionable insights that will guide future conservation strategies and help ensure the resilience of both deer populations and the communities who rely on them across the region. Join us to learn more about what BDF is doing in Alaska, the importance of habitat enhancement for Sitka black-tailed deer, and how the monitoring project will inform future conservation strategies.
This Pint Night is one is a series sponsored nationally by onX Hunt!
As are all of our Pint Nights, this will be a casual, fun way to meet fellow backcountry enthusiats, swap stories and learn about BHA and our mission to conserve wild public lands, waters, and wildlife. BHA members advocate for public hunting and fishing and we work to maintain and improve access to places to hunt and fish. We also speak up for wildlife, guided by the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Finally, we believe in and advocate for fair chase in pursuit of fish and game. If those ideals resonate with you, please come join us to learn more and maybe become part of BHA.
This event is free and open to all. Our friends at onX Hunt will provide a free, one-year Premium One State Membership for the first 15 attendees who initiate or renew a BHA membership at this event.
