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 John Schreiner Win a hunt, Maxxis bow, or Browning rifle Become or recruit a new volunteer for RMEF and gain the opportunity to win one of 8 outfitted 5-day whitetail deer and waterfowl combo hunts in Northern Missouri’s legendary big-buck country.

With 20 prizes, we have now given you 20 more outstanding reasons to become or recruit a new volunteer with RMEF.
