The 2022-2023 IDFG/Wolf Control Board cost share agreement:
In effort to prolong the timeline of increased reimbursement amounts generated through the cost-share agreement with IDFG/IWDCB for the 2022-2023 season, F4WM has agreed to reimburse expenses for the first wolf a member harvests within the 46 Units identified by IDFG as priority areas, at the rate of $1000. The second and all wolves thereafter harvested by the same individual, within the 27 Units not meeting elk objectives, will be reimbursed at $1500. The second and all wolves thereafter harvested by the same individual within the 19 units suffering chronic livestock depredation will be reimbursed at $2000.
In short (Within below listed qualifying units):
Your 1st wolf: $1000 (Membership required/funded solely by f4wm dollars)
Your 2nd wolf and above(funded through cost share agreement):
$1500 in elk below objective units
