Fantastic country and another great move by the RMEF.

Looking down into there from on high. The southern Elkhorns are special.

I always knew a fully funded LWCF would be amazing, but seeing it play out in real life is even better than I expected.

"The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), Montana Fish & Wildlife Conservation Trust (MFWCT) and Montana’s Outdoor Legacy Foundation (MOLF) joined with landowners to buy the property, said Mike Mueller, RMEF senior lands program manager.
“The land will provide year-round and winter habitat for elk, as well as habitat for deer, bears, wolves, moose, mountain lions, ferruginous hawks, and a variety of grassland birds,” he said."

Organizations working towards wildlife habitat preservation. Pretty awesome!

Thanks for sharing BHR.

Good purchase. Now all I need is to live another hundred years to draw a tag. Ha!
