The Pacific Ghost - Conserving Black-Tailed Deer in Oregon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 кві 2023
- The Pacific Ghost showcases how The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) and Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) take on the challenges of conserving black-tailed deer in Oregon.
In 2022, Leupold partnered with MDF to host the first-ever Black-Tailed Deer Summit at Leupold's headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. The Summit allowed an extensive group of biologists, state fish and game department employees, key non-profit organizations, and regional Federal program leads from across the region to visit typical black-tailed deer habitat, see an active habitat project, and observe new techniques in deer population management. Attendees shared information important to their own work but also explored opportunities for better collaboration. The event concluded with a discussion of the next steps that MDF can implement to help address the most pressing needs of black-tailed deer in specific regions.

I’m a habitat technician in Southern Oregon. Any additional focus and resources going to Blacktail habitat is awesome and greatly appreciated! Efforts to help blacktail benefit all the other wildlife that we enjoy in Oregon. I encourage hunters to get involved with Mule Deer Foundation and Oregon Hunters Association and help out with their volunteer efforts. More hands make less work, and your work is very important! Thanks for looking out for your local wildlife Leupold
Thank you for watching the film and being apart of habitat research!
Leupold continues do support and lead the industry and conservation in so many ways. Thank you for all you do and I am the proud owner of Leupold products, the quality is unsurpassed.
We are lucky to see lots of Blacktail deer here in Southern Oregon. I am thankful for the organizations that are working hard to improve numbers and habitat!
Thank you Leupold for working to protect and better our resources.
Thank you all for all of your hard work and conservation efforts
Thank you Leupold, MDF and ODFW for your keeping wilderness wild.
Leupold and Blacktail go hand in hand in the PNW. Great to see the partnership between MDF and Leupold for conversation efforts for one of the toughest mature animals to harvest in the West. It would be great to see more of this restorative conversation in western Oregon. Good work and thank you!
Love seeing great organizations and companies coming together for one common target. Much appreciation for everybody involved.
When we all work together conservation is a success . Not only animals large and small reap the benefits but humans also . Thank you Leupold . We need more private companies and industries to become involved .
Truly inspirational. Black-tail will always be special to me as it was me tagging along side my friends black- tail hunts that inspired me to become a hunter.
Very good to learn about Blacktails, their habitat and MDF & ODFW conservation efforts. Great short film.
It’s always great finding out that organizations like this exist. Thanks to you guys we get to learn about them and all of this is brought to attention
Been a loyal customer of Leupold and a long time supporter of Mule Deer Foundation! Thank you for coming together and supporting each other, thanks for the film and awareness!
Yet one more wonderful reason to support local home grown, home employers of great products!!! Thanks.
Thank you for trying to restore the blacktail population, this is such a awesome thing to do. Thanks Leupold
Love hunting these frustrating quarry. Thank you for hosting and highlighting the summit.
Thank you all for all of your hard work and conservation efforts. My first big game animal was a black tail deer on my youth first time hunter tag and that is the reason why I love hunting and the outdoors. So everyone’s conservation efforts to help sustain the deer and elk populations is a huge deal to me so that others may experience what I did and become so passionate about hunting and the outdoors.
I am all for conservation of our wildlife. Thank you, Leupold, for your work on this and for your fantastic optics!
Such a unique animal, conservation of this species, and all animals, is important for future generations! Thank you
Thanks Leupold Optics. Very informative and educational video. Nice too see the groups working together to conserve Black-Tailed Deer.
Well presented video, interesting and informative. Beautiful country, and it’s great to see that Leupold alongside conservation organizations are working hard to preserve the habitat for these lovely deer.
Thank you everyone for taking the time and effort to bring awareness to these little guys. As a California hunter, I could not be happier to see conservation efforts going towards the black tail deer. Hopefully California follows your lead! Great job Leupold and The Mule Deer Foundation!
I love it when I see anyone doing something to preserve the natural beauty of the wilderness and wildlife that calls it home. It seems like all too often they get overlooked in the world today.
Having met Don and DeWaine, and worked with Brian with ODFW, I can tell you these professionals are working hard to create the best outcomes for wildlife in Oregon. I'm glad to see OHA and MDF working with them to learn about black-tailed deer and modern challenges to a thriving population. This is one example of why I'm a member of both organizations. This is also why I have multiple Leupold products at hand during hunting seasons!
Leupold is all I use these guys are great. Thank you too all!
It's great to see more research being done to learn about the "Pacific Ghost". Thank you MDF and Leupold for doing this.
Great Video very interesting and another reason to buy and support Leupold i have been using them since 1968. great products and supporting our sport. Thanks again Leupold
Protecting nature is a very important contribution to preserving the environment for future generations
Grew up learning to hunt black tailed deer. It’s my addiction and I love everything about them. Absolutely enjoyed this video! Thank you putting it out!!
It' was awesome to watch this video and thank you for doing the part in conservation efforts looking forward to seeing more since I subscribed.
Thanks again
Growing up in the South I have always known about whitetail hunting and conservation. Thank you for making this short film and expanding my knowledge of other species and the conservation efforts being put forth to preserve our heritage of hunting and conservation.
Great video! It is great to learn more about the black tailed deer. I love Leupold products and have been a loyal customer since the 60's. Great products and company that stands behind their products in a truly exemplary manner!
I’ve had the pleasure of hunting Black-Tailed deer in SE Alaska several times, and what an incredible experience and animal! These deer have to be one of the most resilient and adaptable species of creatures on the planet given the topography and elements they deal with and ultimately thrive in. Great video, and very much appreciate the efforts of all who contribute to this research!
As a previous Leupold customer it is great to be reminded of why. Will definitely keep in mind when making my next optic purchase!
Grew up hunting black tails and have the utmost respect for them. Very glad to see MDF blacktail conservation efforts in the works!
Great video and thank you Leopold for your involvement in this very important Conversation issue. I hope the Blacktail Deer can flourish from all of this hard work!!
Love Leupold products and this video shows how much they love the sport and want to help. Thank you.
As a volunteer for a non-profit (NDA) I certainly appreciate all the help from MDF along with ODFW to look at these conservation and research efforts of the beautiful Blacktail. Leupold has been my glass of choice the last 6-7 years or so and so glad I made the move. Glad to see them collaborating on a grassroots level for such a great cause. Looking to add to my kit with a BX-4 10x42 sooner than later. 🦌👀
A long overdue summit on blacktails. Thank you to the MDF and ODFW for making this happen. Hopefully, implementing the ideas expressed will produce more deer for future generations of hunters and wildlife enthusiasts
As a California hunting and fishing guide, I appreciate the conservation efforts that you guys putting in to restore the Blacktail population. Much appreciated!!
It’s all about the conservation. Kudos to all involved.
Been hunting the infamous grey ghosts on Vancouver Island for years. Nothing I enjoy better 💚 🦌
Love black tail so beautiful glad to see that y’all are taking care of them
Inspirational video for hunters to get involved in local conservation to keep the animals we hunt around.
Keep up the knowledgeable and motivational videos in addition to a great product!
Great video! There is nothing more I enjoy thank hunting blacktail they are an amazing animal. Every year I hunt them and scout for them I learn something new about them. The way they get around in the forest where I hunt here in oregon is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for making a difference. Too many hunters harvest food from the land without giving back to the ecosystem that provides joy and fulfilment to so many. It's encouraging to see one of the most prolific optics companies in the hunting community leading the way. We are indebted ...
Hopefully one day I can mark black tail off my bucket list. Always love to see people trying to preserve wildlife for future generations to hunt.
Thank you, MDF and ODFW, for all your work in conservation and keeping these beautiful beasts around.
Odfw? Lmao they don't do shit to help our game 😊
Great film! As the grandson of a former ODFW assistant director, I always heard a lot about the importance of habitat to these animals. Great to see some work being done for the blacktails!
Thank you for taking time to watch the film!
Great work by everyone in this project. I love seeing Leupold contribute like they always do and why I’m a huge supporter. Thanks everyone that was a part and continues to improve deer habitat.
Great video on the work being done for blacktail deer habitat. Thank you Leupold,MDF,and ODFW.Still waiting on getting drawn or having enough points for Oregon for my daughter or myself 3rd times a charm.
Watching it brought back so many memories of my childhood. Thank you. Great video.
Habitat, it means everything to wildlife. Thank you for the spotlight. Awesome buck!
Thanks for all the positive influence and effort you put into not only Quality products but many other aspects and programs to give your consumers more opportunity to experience the best possible opportunities. I enjoy watching the video documentaries they are very well put together. Thank you for a job well done.
Great film! Thank you MDF and ODFW for all your hard work!
Outstanding work in conservation! I'm an Arizona native and have witnessed many changes relative to our mule deer habitat over the last 50 years. To see the cooperation between MDF and the Oregon biologists tugs at my heart strings. Keep up the good work!
Great buck it's great to see more blacktail content!
Thanks for your effort on behalf of these majestic animals and the people that hunt them.
Great film, Black tail are a unique species of mule deer. When I lived in Lake Wildwood in Northern California we had a lot of them wandering around our house. Beautiful Deer.
Great video and thank you Leupold for being part of conserving Blacktail habitat.
I always enjoy hearing about animal and habitat conservation. Great info in this video!
Great film, good to see positive work being done to help save their habitat.
It would be nice before I get too old to go to a place like that and hunt them. Just one time beautiful deer, beautiful country thank you all for the video.
So awesome to see such great organizations and companies coming together for one common goal!! Much appreciation for everybody involved!!!
I’ve dreamed of the day I could chase these little ghosts! Thank you leupold and mule deer foundation for all you do!
Great video. Anytime I see Blacktail Content it’s nice, and it is exciting to see people that want the species to thrive.
Great conservation effort. Nice to see the work hunters put towards maintaining strong wildlife populations and habitat
Leupold films have been some of my favorites. Keep up the great content and fantastic optics!
Awesome stuff guys, I have lived in Washington most my life and love hunting Blacktail deer and I think it is great you guys are studying their behavior and their habitat. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Leupold for your great work and helping such a great thing.
Thanks for all the many many years of great products too !
Great buck and shot .
Great group of organizations; we're lucky to have them looking after our interests.
good educational film showing the good work and intentions of people that deserve admiration
Thanks Leopold, for the informative video, the work being done to help conserve the blackmail, and for many great products! All are appreciated.
Great film, content and message. We all need to come together to help this cause. As a lifetime Oregonian; hunter, fisherman and general recreationalist; the habitat for the black tail has changed drastically since the 80’s. Some point fingers at politics, environmentalist, private land owners, urban growth and many other factors but it all comes down to each us individually and what we are willing to do or are not do. It’s time to step up and do our part in this process. Join, let your voice be heard and participate in your local favorite organization: OHA, RMEF, Mule deer foundation, Oregon steel headers, ducks unlimited, etc.. The list is long and they need you and we need them!
Thanks Leupold for this telling video. I'm still rather new to hunting myself and have really only learned of Leupold in the last three years. Went on my first hunt ever just three days ago, turkey with one of my favorite people. We didn't get anything, but had managed to successfully call in three birds, two Jake's and a hen to around 50-ish yards, before our decoy blew over and spooked them.
Not bad for two turkey rookies. We had a blast and are definitely heading back out next week for another chance till we either tag out or the tags expire. Y'all have built yourselves a great company and I love your gear. I'm proud to represent and help sell people on what y'all make. Looking forward to hunting more and more species in the coming years.
Thank you so very much for the opportunity to win this outstanding giveaway. It is greatly appreciated. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Have a great week, my friend.
Great information for hunters to learn more about the efforts to help the Blacktail deer. Thank you Leupold, MDF and ODFW.
What an awesome animal and a big thank you to Leupold!
Great to see some focus on black tailed deer. Have had a lot of fun trying to get close to these deer.
Great video that broadened my understanding of some of the challenges…and opportunities to contribute to conservation of the blacktail deer.
After watching this video & seeing all the amazing things that everyone is doing, I can lonely say one thing; “AWESOME!!!”🤩
Looks like you guys are doing the good work! Wildlife conservation is absolutely necessary.
Love Blacktails and the coastal ranges they inhabit!!!
Thank yo MDF and ODFW for your dedication to making sure this elusive beautiful species can once again thrive!
Great video and great work. Thanks to Leupold for the assistance to the Mule deer Foundation. I’m super excited to go on my first blacktail deer hunt this fall in Oregon in hopes to complete my deer slam. If I do I’ll be looking at it through my 4.5x14 VXIII!
Very informative and I enjoyed this episode with my children educating them about conservation and being stewards of our lands .
Being from Wyoming, I didn't know much about the Blacktail populations in the PNW. I found the video to be very well done and super informative. Keep on partnering up! MDF and Leupold make a great team👍👍
It’s nice to see that Leupold stepping up help out different wildlife species out there. Just another reason why I’m a solid Leupold supporter and always will be for life!
Great vid , my first deer ever was a Mendocino blacktail with Dad and favorite Uncle. Something I still think about 55 years later
Alot of good people doing good things. Can't ask for any more. Awesome video
What a great film! Awesome collaboration between two great organizations! Leupold and the Mule Deer Foundation.
Black tailed deer are truly amazing animals that often go overlooked by many. All I have to say is folks are really missing out!
Glad to see this from The Mule Deer Foundation, ODFG and Leupold.
The PNW is an amazing place, thanks for a great film!
This is awesome! We need more Blacktail films, and better yet, blacktail conservation! Cheers Leupold!
Great to see these partnerships working toward a great goal. Nice film.
Great video. Very nice to see the work you all are doing. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
First, thank you to Leupold for manufacturing in the USA. Moreover, your first class optics have certainly helped me in harvesting big game. Having never seen a Blacktail since living in the northeast and never visiting their range the well put together video was very informative. That was a nice buck. It's good to see partnerships between corporations , conservative groups and hunters. These consistent efforts will hopefully make a difference and allow the next generation of hunters to experience a hunt like one reflected in the video. I tip my hat to all of you folks.
Thank you Leupold and MDF for your partnership and making this a Hunt of a lifetime!
