The mission of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, and their habitat.

RMEF is committed to:

Conserving, restoring, and enhancing natural habitats; promoting the sound management of wild, free-ranging elk, which may be hunted or otherwise enjoyed; fostering cooperation among federal, state, tribal and private organizations, and individuals in wildlife management and habitat conservation; and educating members and the public about habitat conservation, the value of hunting, hunting ethics and wildlife management.

The Elk Foundation strongly supports hunting practiced in a legal, responsible, and ethical manner.

They believe that the hunting of game animals is a long-standing tradition and part of our cultural heritage. It's a sound wildlife management tool that can help regulate wildlife numbers on a sustainable basis within the carrying capacity of their habitats. It should be practiced with respect for the individual animal, the species and the land and it's a legitimate, outdoor recreational activity.

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation upholds the hunting tradition by protecting places where wild animals will continue to thrive and people will continue to hunt. It is their desire to foster a deep love and respect for the land, the wildlife it supports, and the outdoor experience.

They believe that honest hunting for free-ranging animals kindles vitality in the individual hunter, deepens appreciation of wildlife and wildlands, and strengthens society as a whole.
