Sitka Gear, a longtime supporter and advocate of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) has pledged to donate up to $20,000 to help solidify the future of elk hunting, conservation and land access—with your help.

Sitka will donate $100 to the RMEF for every new life member that joins the foundation through the end of October 2014, up to 200 new life members.

The RMEF estimates that, with the addition of each new life member, approximately three acres of critical elk country habitat will be conserved or enhanced. Outdoorsmen and women that take advantage of the ongoing promotion will receive an exclusive life member jacket and cap, which has been crafted by Sitka Gear.

An RMEF lifetime membership also entitles consumers to a subscription to Bugle Magazine.
