Reimbursement Process

Harvest Reimbursement

We work with Sportsmen and Idahos Predator Biologist to determine what areas Idaho Ungulates (Moose, Elk, & Deer) have been most negatively impacted by wolf predation. We then designate reimbursement zones based on those and other factors. December 1st to March 31st have proven to require more time, energy and financial investment for hunters to be successful. Where as a person may stumble upon a wolf while Elk or Deer hunting during the fall hunting season with very little invested. At the same time, Trappers consistently spend more due to mandatory trap check times, which require more time in the field. For these reasons we designate reimbursement amounts accordingly.

The Reimbursement Process

The reimbursement request process is quite simple- to request a reimbursement, follow the detailed steps below:

1. The first step is to start saving receipts prior to harvesting a wolf- receipts need to be for items purchased in relation to the scouting, hunting, or trapping of wolves. These can include items such as firearms, ammunition, traps, game cameras, outdoor clothing/gear, license & tag fees, ATV/UTV, 4-wheel truck purchase or payments, etc. 
2. Upon harvesting a wolf, send us a copy of your expense receipts for the amount of the reimbursement based on the unit of harvest (See the chart below) and a copy of your Idaho Fish & Game mortality report (pink slip) proving it was a legal harvest. Reimbursement documentation can be sent via email to Teresa@f4wm.org or by mail to F4WM Po Box 821 Ponderay, ID 83852. You keep the wolf. 

Once we receive and verify your reimbursement requests, your check will be mailed within 5-7 business days. Please direct any questions related to harvest reimbursements to Secretary/Treasurer Teresa Stevens at Teresa@f4wm.org or 208-304-0906.
