WHY "FAT BOTTOM DOES?"

Even though antlered deer get a lot of attention, mothers are the real drivers of healthy herds. When mothers in a herd have access to good forage, they have twins more often, and healthier fawns going into winter. Studies from the Monteith Shop show fat mothers equal bigger bucks. They popularized the phrase "Fat Bottom Does" following this important research.

When you support Fat Bottom Does, you support the Wyoming Wildlife Federation’s work to keep habitat connected and thriving through long-lasting public lands policy, as well as other critical work.

What Programs Does This Support?

Long-term solutions have been Wyoming Wildlife Federation’s ethos since 1937. If we want to provide the best chance possible for mule deer, as well as all other species we care about, to thrive into the future, we first have to take care of their groceries. By being a thoughtful voice at the table, and experts in the arena of public lands policy, the Federation represents and supports members like you at public meetings, during commenting periods, and through collaboration with all stakeholders involved in these processes.

The BLM Rock Springs Field Office is currently revising its Rock Springs Resource Management Plan. This plan for 3.6M acres of public land has implications for wildlife and sportsmen for many years to come.

With increasing pressures on wildlife habitats and specifically the thorofares in which animals move and migrate, come an increasing need for programs and initiatives that focus on conserving these vital habitat corridors.

In the past 31 years, the Bridger-Teton National Forest has seen significant changes including increased recreational use year-round and wildlife diseases. It’s WWF’s goal to have new scientific and social information, particularly related to wildlife habitat and migration corridors incorporated into an updated Forest Plan.
