RMEF leads effort for state wolf management

A recent editorial by Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation life member Mike Muscha caught my attention. Mike talked about his love for elk, hunting and its future in Idaho because of the growing wolf population. He also called on RMEF to “step up to the plate” and “take action.”

Our message is simple. RMEF is in the fight. In fact, RMEF has been and remains a leader in the fight for state-based management of wolves. We consistently remain engaged with the state and federal agencies that control management of predators like wolves, mountain lions and bears. We also understand the frustration of local hunters and sportsmen who have contributed more to their state agencies for wildlife management than any other single group of citizens. We also understand why groups like the Foundation for Wildlife Management are cropping up in states as a direct result from the sportsmen’s frustration.
