I hope it has become pretty obvious that the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has made public hunting access one of their major priorities, along with habitat and conservation projects.
Here is another access example that is going towards an excellent program in Wyoming, the Wyoming Access Yes program. Many of us hunt HMAs or WIHAs in Wyoming, both residents and non-residents. Those access agreements are funded with conservation stamps and donations to "Access Yes."

With the cuts WY G&F is facing, access programs are on the chopping block. Unfortunate, but you can only do "more with less" for so long. After a while, no matter how creative one gets, it ends up where you do "less with less."
Wyoming has some of the most active and amazing volunteers RMEF could ask for. RMEF is fortunate to have such a great group of volunteers who are so committed to elk and conservation. It is great to see Wyoming RMEF Project Advisory Committee (a committee of Wyoming RMEF volunteers) granting process result in money being allocated toward access.
Wyoming G&F does a lot with their access program. For each dollar in the program, 4.2 acres of land is enrolled. Using the $45,000 grant from RMEF, Wyoming Game and Fish can convert that to 189,000 acres of ground open to public hunting.
Hope you will attend a local banquet in your area. Maybe even consider becoming a volunteer, if your time and enthusiasm allows. These banquets help fund the many projects RMEF is involved with, including access projects such as this.

This made me laugh out loud. I feel quite confident that you will never miss a chance to stick it to ol JWP58. The internet makes it a small world for sure.
