We are in a forest crisis.
You can help.
We’re a group of hunters, landowners, environmentalists, and community members who want to protect our dying forests from deer overgrazing.

Own land or farm in New York and dealing with too many deer?
We’ll help you apply for the DEC’s Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) and Deer Damage Permits (DDP).
Whether you want to hunt, you have land to hunt on, or you want to help process deer and close the loop with food insecurity — you are the solution.

What happens when you hunt white-tailed deer?
More plants/birds/insects thriving, more time outside for you (it’s super good for your mental health!), and more food that’s free, local, and lived a real life.
Already doing something similar?
If we do not address deer overpopulation there is no future for our forests.
The best data? Next time you are in the woods notice the lack of oak and maple saplings (2-5ft).
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
