The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation now has upwards of 180,000 members and growing. RMEF is proud of the
more than 632,000 acres of previously off-limits land it’s opened to public hunting, and prouder still of the six
million acres of great elk country people like you have helped conserve. But 180,000 members is barely 10 percent
of the active elk hunters in North America. Imagine what we could accomplish with 300,000 or even half-a-million
members?
If you’re a fan of wildlife you’ll love what the Elk Foundation has accomplished. You can take pride in the fact that
RMEF is working hard for conservation in every state. Because RMEF believes everyone should get the opportunity
to hunt, fish or learn outdoor skills, a portion of funds raised at our banquets in Illinois stays right here to support
hunting heritage and conservation education efforts. Since 1993, RMEF Illinois Chapters have funded 69 workshops,
clinics and programs across the state to introduce young people and women to the outdoors, promote hunter safety
and responsibility, provide physically challenged individuals with a hunting experience, and involve youth in
conservation including S.A.F.E. (Shooting Access for Everyone) Challenge events, 4-H Shooting Sports, Becoming
an Outdoors-Woman, Illinois Forest Resource Center Stewardship Week, and National Archery in the Schools
programs.
Yours in Conservation,
John Schreiner
