Founded in 1980 by a small but passionate group of deer hunters in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association was built on a simple idea: hunters should have a voice in the future of Minnesota’s deer herd, habitat, and hunting traditions.
More than four decades later, that idea is still at the heart of everything we do.
Gray wolves have long been biologically recovered, yet their management remains tied up in federal red tape and courtroom battles. The result is a system that ignores science, undermines conservation, and prevents states from responsibly managing a species that has clearly met—and exceeded—recovery goals.
Minnesota is home to many conservation organizations doing good work. But when it comes to supporting deer, habitat, hunting traditions, and the future of hunting in our state, one organization stands apart as truly Minnesota-first. The Minnesota Deer Hunters Association was created by Minnesota deer hunters to protect Minnesota’s deer herd, habitat, and hunting heritage. When you join MDHA, your support stays local and goes directly toward work that matters here at home.
If there’s one thing Minnesota deer hunters never run short of, it’s stories. Around the campfire, in the truck, or back at the cabin after dark, stories are how we share the moments that make hunting more than just a pastime. They are part of our tradition.
In Minnesota, gear has to survive mud, snow, ice, and the rugged backroads that lead to deer camp. Not every trailer is built for that. But the FLOE CargoMax™ isn’t just another utility trailer—it’s a purpose-built, ultra-durable work machine designed to thrive in the harshest outdoor conditions.
That’s why MDHA is proud to include a FLOE CargoMax™ trailer in our Huntin & Haulin Sweepstakes, perfectly paired with the Argo Frontier Scout 700 8×8. One lucky winner will take home a combo built for true Minnesota adventure.
The Minnesota Deer Hunters Association (MDHA) has stood for decades as a powerful voice for deer hunters and wildlife conservation across the state. From habitat restoration to youth mentorship programs, from hunter education to legislative advocacy, MDHA’s mission is rooted in ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same traditions that define Minnesota’s outdoor heritage.
