The Muley Fanatic Foundation (MFF) has organized a program “Putting the ‘U’ in Hunt” the inception of MFF in 2012. This program is a partnership with the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission to receive Complimentary Commissioner Licenses for youths with life-threatening illnesses. The youth recipients are usually found by word of mouth due to the HIPPA Law. So if you know of a youth that fits the criteria, please have them reach out to MFF immediately @ (307) 875-3133.

• MFF will help cover all expenses (for all recipient’s family), license fees, lodging, hunt day food, and hunt day beverages. MFF’s goal is to prevent these youths and their families’ from any burden of expense so it is a stress free experience. Many local businesses and volunteers assist with the hunts to the extent of their willing donation. (Please see sponsors below).

• The goal is to achieve a successful hunt and a great experience for these kids. It isn’t a trophy hunt. The best plan is always to provide the best opportunity for each kid with the best shot. The size of the antlers is the last on the agenda, however, if a large animal presents the opportunity, then yes there will be no hesitation to take that trophy.

• With the goals set for each hunt, majority of these hunts do not last much longer than 2 days.

Every year the youth hunts have high success rates and create lifelong memories, all due to the assistance of the MFF Southeast Wyoming Chapter in Cheyenne, Pathfinder Ranches, MFF 10 Country Chapter in Riverton WY, Will Dolinar & JT Price with Crossfire Tactical LLC, MFF Southwest Wyoming Chapter in Rock Springs, Jason Faigl with Red Desert Outfitters, Mountainland Supply in Rock Springs WY, Carrico Ranches, and 4 individuals (Josh, Joey, Chris, Janet) from MFF HQ.

Thank you to all that have been supportive of this effort! Words can not be expressed for how much MFF appreciates everyone involved. The experiences of these hunts brings many emotions and unforgettable memories for these and MFF.
