A few families from Troy, Montana scraping together last $'s to begin what is now the premier elk conservation organization! This video is amazing! It shows the roots and how those families made what it is now!Holding strong in 1st Place: @Dave N with 42 points and 182 still available to claim! And to note, holding 1st Place (158, 182, 186), in tight competition for the entire Jabber's commissioner formed, March Madness Bracket of 439 entries!
@INMT in 2nd Place with 40 points and 156 available to claim! His 40 points bodes well though Madness has exposed an ever slight chink in his armor with 156 points remaining!
Along with @Oak who entered into 3rd Place with 38 points and 182 available to claim! Still holds spare gas with 182 points remaining though Madness has a fickle way to evaporate points before our very eyes!
Dave N promoted / placed his conservation organization spotlight onto the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation! An official sponsor of Hunt Talk and Fresh Tracks!
Did you know, simply by joining RMEF you have membership benefits to gain Randy Newberg's FRESH TRACKS+ subscription for FREE? Yep! That is the commitment Newberg and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation share with our members for the purpose to promote access and wildlife preservation/conservation! This is a simply snip of the discounts RMEF membership provides from various companies who share the same passion for countless wildlife species, by the direct action supporting the conservation of our elk via land corridors/access, habitat support, and legislative advocacy!
INMT took the liberty to promote two fantastic organizations when he entered the Hunt Talk conservation event: His first was promoted above, PLWA!
His other? Montana Wildlife federation! One of the premier conservation organizations supported by the collective lead of the National Wildlife Federation! A powerhouse organization for the reason we are here, as members of Hunt Talk!

Oak personally donated prizes for this event and promoted an organization he passionately invests countless hours towards the success of our bighorn sheep! The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society has been instrumental in the conservation and preservation of bighorn sheep throughout native population areas with valued support from many Hunt Talk members as members! The great raffles each of us Hunt Talk members thirst to support along with annual memberships, donations, and boots on the ground have contributed towards numerous bighorn sheep endeavors for their continued conservation and notably, their preservation.

@Elky Welky donated prizes for this Hunt Talk Conservation Event on behalf of the Backcountry Hunters & Anglers! A continuous leading voice for our wild public lands, waters, and wildlife! BHA has been instrumental toward the success of our wildlife and our public access! Most notably, BHA's direct support for our four Missouri hunters has led to the following - an amazing precedent set and hopeful to see this expand further across America for access to our public lands!
