As the crisp autumn air sweeps across the vast Wyoming wilderness, the landscape transforms into a breathtaking canvas of gold and amber. It's a season of change, a season of harvest, and a season of hope for the Muley Fanatic Foundation (MFF). In this special episode of "Wild Things & Wild Places," hosted by Joshua Coursey and joined by Joey Faigl and Chris Steffen, we delve into the heartwarming story of MFF's "Putting the 'U' in Hunt" program. At its core, the Muley Fanatic Foundation is all about conservation and the passion for the great outdoors. Founded in 2012, the organization has been dedicated to preserving mule deer and their habitat, but they've also embraced a profound mission – one that touches lives in the most extraordinary way. The "Putting the 'U' in Hunt" program is a partnership with the Wyoming Game & Fish Commission, designed to provide Complimentary Commissioner Licenses to youths facing life-threatening illnesses. It's a testament to the foundation's belief that nature has a profound healing power, and every child deserves the chance to experience the thrill of the hunt.
