The National Gamekeepers' Organisation Deer Branch is believed by stalking industry experts to have more members actively engaged in deer management than any other organisation in the UK. It represents professional and recreational stalkers in England and Wales as well as gamekeepers who control deer as part of their day-to-day work in wildlife conservation and habitat management.

Toxey Haas, Founder and CEO of Mossy Oak, said: "Mossy Oak Brand Camo is proud to be the official camouflage of the National Gamekeepers' Organisation Deer Branch. As fellow gamekeepers in the US, we recognize the importance of what they do in the UK, teaching conservation and deer management. We're happy to partner with NGO Deer Branch who share our love and appreciation for wildlife and the outdoors."

Richard Lee, Managing Director of Rivers West Europe, said: "Rivers West is proud to be the Official Clothing Partner of the National Gamekeepers' Organisation Deer Branch. We value highly the NGO's commitment to protecting this long-standing British tradition, and we are looking forward to keeping stalkers and gamekeepers comfortable and dry when performing their duties."

David Wiggins, Deer Branch Chairman of the National Gamekeepers' Organisation, said: "Stalkers and keepers ask a lot of their kit. So I am very happy to announce that well-known names Mossy Oak and Rivers West are to become official sponsors of the NGO Deer Branch. Both brands have a reputation for delivering what's needed to let us get on with the job."
