Reimbursement

Understanding the wolf harvest expense reimbursement process:

• Step 1 Join F4WM
• Step 2 Save receipts
• Step 3 Harvest a wolf & check it in with the State
• Step 4 Submit for reimbursement of your expenses

Explanations and Details:

STEP 1: Join / Membership

• F4WM Membership must be approved and processed prior to being eligible for reimbursement (allow 7 days for processing). Once your membership is processed, you will be eligible for reimbursement of your expenses when you harvest a wolf. (EXCEPTION: When State of Idaho funds are used for the reimbursement F4WM is required to reimburse both members and non-members alike. Please see Idaho wolf Control Board and Commission Grant funding section below).

STEP 2: Receipts

• Purchases must be from prior to harvest date, and for expenses related to the scouting, hunting, or trapping of wolves (Does not have to be a current year purchase). These can include items such as fuel, firearms, ammunition, traps, game cameras, outdoor clothing/gear, license & tag fees, ATV/UTV, 4-wheeler, truck purchase or payments, etc.

STEP 3: Harvest a wolf:

• Wolf must be checked in with IDFG or MTFWP. Ask for a copy of the Big Game Mortality Report from IDFG or the Wolf Harvest Registration form from MT FWP.
  • Note 1: Falsifying that report is a Felony
  • Note2: If your MT wolf Hide & Skull, or Whole Carcass was not presented to the FWP when checking it in, (Indicated by the info on that form) then your reimbursement request also requires a photo of yourself with your wolf.

STEP 4: Submit for reimbursement

• Email a copy of your expense receipts(for the amount of the reimbursement, based on the max allowed for the unit of harvest listed/mapped below)
• As well as a copy of your IDFG Big Game Mortality Report, or FWP Wolf harvest registration form(This proves it was a legal harvest and what unit the wolf was harvested from.
