Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

A well-maintained landscape requires more than mowing and edging. From pruning shrubs and shaping hedges to managing tree growth and cleaning hardscape surfaces, having the right tools can help keep your outdoor spaces looking their best. Whether you’re a gardening enthusiast or a homeowner focused on curb appeal, combining traditional hand tools with compact battery-powered equipment can make landscape maintenance faster, easier, and more precise.

Elk continue to thrive in the hills and hollers of the Bluegrass State since their reintroduction in 1997, thanks in part to RMEF’s steadfast support in helping to conserve and enhance habitat throughout the herd’s range. To date, RMEF’s work in Kentucky and Tennessee totals nearly 360 projects across almost 169,000 acres with a value of $23 million.

In the Pennsylvania Wilds Region, a ruffed grouse stronghold overlaps with the state’s elk range. It’s also near other high-priority woodcock and brook trout habitats. With $50,000 in funding from RMEF, the Ruffed Grouse Society & American Woodcock Society (RGS & AWS) is working with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry (PBF) and other partners to help improve habitat for both grouse and elk—while helping a large stand recover from a catastrophic fire from about 35 years ago.

For hunters who expect more from their rifle, the CZ 600+ American brings together timeless sporting rifle styling and the modern performance of the CZ 600+ bolt-action platform. Built for the field, the range, and the seasons that matter most, the 600+ American is designed for shooters who value precision, reliability, and confidence behind the rifle.

If you hunt with a rifle, you know how important your rifle setup is. Everything must be exactly right to ensure you successfully make a clean, ethical shot at the appropriate and usually very tense moment. Everything works in conjunction with the other—rifle, optic, ammo, and let’s not forget the suppressor. According to the ASA (American Suppressor Association) for those of you in most of the country, hunting with a suppressor is legal and I dare say a must.

Whether you call it “barbed wire” or “bob wire,” old fencing can impede the movements of big game across the landscape. That’s why a dedicated crew of RMEF volunteers, including Montana Knife Company employees, took on a recent habitat stewardship project along with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) to remove abandoned fencing from Flathead Ridge Ranch in northwestern Montana. The latest RMEF Film, “Clearing the Way on Flathead Ridge,” shows just how much work goes into a fence-pull project.

For more than a decade, the Burris Veracity series has set the standard for precision hunting optics. Recognized for its class-leading performance, ultra-rugged reliability, and award-winning design, the original Veracity helped define what serious hunters expect from a premium, non-digital riflescope.

The Foundation Pack For decades, Eberlestock and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation have shared a commitment to the people, places, and traditions that define the hunting community. Rooted in a passion for western landscapes and a respect for our hunting heritage, both organizations understand that conservation is essential to the future of hunting.

The University of Montana recently named Nicole Tatman as the inaugural director of the Center for Hunting and Conservation. The center builds on an existing partnership between UM’s top-ranked wildlife biology program and RMEF. Hunting is a powerful conservation tool for big game species and their habitats.

The Colorado Wildlife Council (CWC) recently selected RMEF as the recipient of the 2026 Conservationist of the Year Award, recognizing nearly 40 years of dedication to big game conservation in the state. Celebrating excellence in environmental stewardship, the award honors individuals, groups and organizations that make significant, measurable impact on Colorado. Since 1987 RMEF has served as a cornerstone of Colorado conservation, noted the CWC in announcing the award.
