Federal Ammunition and the Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) announced the continuation of their long-standing conservation partnership supporting mule deer, black-tailed deer, and the habitats they depend on across the West.
Federal Ammunition, headquartered in Anoka, Minnesota, has supported conservation initiatives for more than 80 years and has worked with conservation organizations since the 1980s. Through its partnership with MDF, the company helps support habitat conservation, wildlife management efforts, and the future of hunting.
In addition to its conservation support, Federal continues to develop innovative ammunition products designed with hunters in mind. One example is the introduction of the 7mm Backcountry cartridge, designed to deliver long-range capability while performing efficiently in short-barrel rifles and suppressor-ready platforms that are increasingly popular among hunters. The serious hunter requires serious bullet options and some industry leaders from Federal are the Terminal Ascent⢠offering a bonded construction that performs at short and long distances and maintains an extremely high ballistic coefficient. Another great option for the western hunter is the Fusion Tipped® line of hunting ammunition, created to offer the same great terminal performance as the original, but with a polymer tip that increases ballistic coefficient, flatten trajectories, and boost energy delivery.
"Our mission is built on collaboration, and partners like Federal Ammunition play an important role in helping us expand our habitat conservation work," said MDF President and CEO Greg Sheehan. "Together, we're ensuring that mule deer and black-tailed deer populations remain strong for future generations of hunters and wildlife enthusiasts."
Together, Federal Ammunition and the Mule Deer Foundation look forward to continuing their partnership in support of wildlife conservation, hunting heritage, and the landscapes that sustain mule deer and black-tailed deer populations.
