Wildlife Conservation Foundation Projects to Raise Funds
Future Shooting Range Site
Coming Soon. WCF will be the major sponsor of the new shooting range built out on the Roosevelt City property SouthEast of town. This is going to be awesome to have in our community. Roosevelt City applied for a grant through the DWR, which has been approved now. We are just waiting for their match funds to be allocated, and then construction will be underway. The grant that was applied for is a 75% match of the 25% money raised for the project. This wildlife conservation project would give Roosevelt a top shooting range, 1000-yard range, 100 to 200-yard range, cowboy village, trap, and pistols ranges. More info coming soon.

Wildlife Conservation Foundation purchased 1000 Mature Roosters from a local grower (Alan Larsen) and released them during the youth and general hunt.
The pheasant was released in the WMA areas in Duchesne and Uintah Counties. This is a great example of your conservation dollars hitting the ground.
Big thanks to the DWR, the volunteers who helped release the birds, and Josh Horrocks. Look at the smiles on those kids (Priceless).
