To Create Healthy Balance Where All Wildlife Can Thrive In Abundance
Managing the ever growing wolf population has proven a daunting task! With wolf hunter success rates at less than 1%, sportsmen typically harvest less wolves than what are born each season.
It’s the combination of our members efforts and wolf disbursal that has kept their numbers stable the past several years.
Who We Are
Connecting Those Seeking Wolf Management With Those Who Can Make It Happen
The Foundation for Wildlife Management (F4WM) is a grassroot effort started by a group of concerned elk hunters that has grown to ensure that elk and other ungulates recover in areas negatively impacted by wolves. We work to create a healthy balance where wildlife and livestock can thrive by assisting state game management agencies in meeting their wolf management objectives. Our organization’s membership is now made up of thousands of concerned sportsmen, ranchers, and citizens who have come together to ensure wolves are managed and we maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem for future generations.
Our Impact
F4WM Impact To-date By The Numbers
F4WM funds 75% of Idaho’s wolf harvest and 55% of Montana’s each season.
We have helped remove 3,049+ wolves with just over $3.2 million in membership and sponsor funds, with zero tax dollars involved ($1000+ per wolf). This effort was supported by sportsmen, ranchers, citizens, and some grants.
Without F4WM, the Idaho Wolf Control Board would be tasked with removing the same wolves, costing tax payers a total of $27.4 million (roughly $9,000 per wolf).
Our Wolf Harvest Reimbursement Program has helped save tax payers roughly $27.4 million.
Over 426,000 elk, moose, deer, and livestock have been saved, given that each wolf consumes 20 big game animals annually for 7 years.
