Dean Bortz: Wisconsin elk hunters provide big boost to Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

As Dean Bortz hurried into the Missoula, Mont., Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation headquarters to renew his membership, it was Stephanie Lewis who noticed that many of the pavers leading to the front doors carried names of Wisconsin members and RMEF chapters. She even found the paver bearing the names of Christine and Stan Thomas, of Plover, and the Flambeau River Chapter, of Park Falls. No doubt readers recognize the name of WON columnist Thomas, who is known in Wyoming elk hunting circles as The Black Widow. (Photo by Dean Bortz)

One thing I looked forward to during our recent swing through western Montana, Idaho, and northeastern Oregon was making a stop at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) headquarters in Missoula, Mont., to renew my membership and do some shopping.
I offered to drop Stephanie Lewis off at an antique store while I went to the RMEF HQ, but she declared an interest in seeing where the elk foundation conducts its business, too. She has a hunting and fishing background, also, so that didn’t really surprise me.
