RMEF to Support Foundation for Wildlife Management
MISSOULA, Mont.--The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation will provide $25,000 in funding from its endowment to support the Foundation for Wildlife Management (F4WM) in wolf control efforts. The two organizations share mission priorities of ensuring the future of elk and other wildlife through staunch support of the state-based predator management.
“RMEF strongly supports wolf management in the form of hunting and trapping, especially in undermanaged predator populations that have a significant impact on elk and other wildlife,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. “This grant allows Idaho wildlife managers greater flexibility in managing wolf populations.”
“The Foundation for Wildlife Management is honored to partner with RMEF in support of elk and other wildlife recovery in areas negatively impacted by wolf predation,” said Justin Webb, F4WM mission advancement director. “RMEF's generous contribution will enable F4WM to provide enhanced support to trappers and hunters in areas where elk populations have been most heavily impacted by wolves. Through partnerships with RMEF, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, our members and supporters, F4WM will continue to promote elk and other big game recovery through the most efficient methods of predator management available.”

I've been an RMEF member almost since the beginning.
RMEF was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too slow getting on the right side of the wolf issue.
RMEF has done so many good things, but their earlier stance on wolves still disappoints me so much it's hard to trust the leadership now.... at least for me.

Good.Unfortunatly that is becuse there was a finiancal I ce tive to do so. Hunters hate wolves. If there is less elk there is more NEED for the RMEF. It grows membership and importance.
