 FOUNDATION FOR WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

Ensuring ungulate populations recover in areas negatively impacted by wolves

 

F4WM brings those who want wolves managed- Idaho Fish & Game, outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and ranchers, together with those who have the ways and means to get the job done!

With wolf hunter success rates at less than 1%, wolves habit of traveling great distances, and reproducing by up to 40% annually, managing their ever growing numbers has proven a daunting task!

F4WM has saved an estimated 100,000+ elk, moose, deer, and livestock, with science-based predator management.

F4WM has removed 865+ wolves with just over $565,000 membership and sponsor dollars, with zero tax funding. That's less than $655 per wolf,  funded by Sportsmen, Ranchers, concerned citizens, and a few Grants. Without the F4WM program, the Idaho Wolf Control Board would be charged with removing the same wolves. Their average expense to investigate livestock depredations and remove problem wolves averaged $9005 per wolf in 2016, $8003 per wolf in early 2017, and more than $9000 per wolf in 2018... 65% of which, has historically been funded by Idaho state tax dollars. 865 wolves x $9000 per wolf= $7,785,000... 65% Tax funded= $5,838,750 State Tax Dollars potentially saved by implementation of our Wolf Harvest Reimbursement Program.


F4WM has issued 865+ reimbursements since its founding, and spent well over $200,000 in reimbursements for 269 wolves in the 2019/2020 season.

YOU CAN HELP!

Your memberships and donations directly reimburse ethical hunters and trappers for expenses incurred while harvesting wolves.

​We are currently searching for volunteers to assist with developing new fundraising chapters in other areas, to host Fundraising Banquets and membership drives. If you would like to volunteer, please contact:

F4WM Executive Director Justin Webb at 208-610-4455.
