Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Celebrates its 37th Anniversary
Public Information Director Mark Holyoak provided details on how the organization got started.
“It s an historical day for us,” said Holyoak. “37 years ago on this date, May 14, 1984, is when RMEF came to be for elk hunters. They love elk and they love elk country and they were avidly involved with hunting and they just looked around and thought there are conservation groups that look after ducks and turkeys and other critters, but there s nothing out there looking out for elk, and so they put their heads together and literally scraped nickels together and formed the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and here we are. It s been it s been a great run.”

The Bureau of Land Management is proposing to acquire more than 11,000 acres south and east of the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, a portion of which is along a five-mile stretch of the lower Musselshell River.
In an environmental assessment the agency released on Monday, the proposed acquisition would consolidate 39,130 acres of its land along the border of Petroleum and Garfield counties that abuts the refuge. In the process, the acquisition would provide access to 8,040 acres of BLM land and 1,320 acres of State Trust lands now inaccessible to the public, according to the EA.
âThe Lower Musselshell River Acquisition Project represents a rare and unique opportunity to improve access into an area that is already a very popular outdoor recreation destination,â said Eric Lepisto, Miles City Field Office manager, in a statement.
