As the title sponsor of the 2026 Ultimate Giveaway, Can-Am has donated a 2026 Defender MAX XT CAB HD11 in Dark Wildland Camo, built to handle rugged terrain and all-season conditions common across mule deer country.

Trusted by hunters, ranchers and riders around the world, the Defender MAX XT CAB HD11 offers seating for six, a fully enclosed cab, and industry-leading durability, making it ideal for ranch work, habitat projects, hunting access, and outdoor adventures. The Defender will be onsite at the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo, where attendees can view it in person and enter to win the Ultimate Giveaway.

The Ultimate Giveaway is MDF’s flagship fundraising sweepstakes, supporting habitat restoration, migration corridor protection, and access initiatives benefiting mule deer and black-tailed deer across the West. Proceeds directly fund on-the-ground conservation projects in partnership with state and federal agencies, private landowners, and local communities.

“Can-Am is an iconic brand in the off-road community, and this partnership reflects a shared commitment to conservation and responsible access,” said MDF President & CEO Greg Sheehan. “This Defender represents what’s possible when industry and conservation work together to protect the landscapes mule deer depend on.”

“The Defender is built for people who depend on the land, whether for work, recreation, or conservation,” said Jeremi Doyon-Roch, Marketing Director, Can-Am Off-Road. “Partnering with the Mule Deer Foundation allows us to support responsible access and the habitat work that keeps these landscapes healthy for future generations.”

This collaboration marks the beginning of an ongoing partnership between Can-Am and MDF, focused on supporting habitat conservation, access, and the future of mule deer across western landscapes.
