WY FNAWS, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation
Promoted at Sportsman’s Warehouse Event
Wyoming FNAWS and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation were
promoted at a March event at Sportsman’s Warehouse in
Casper. Sportsman’s Warehouse donated $1,000 to sponsor the
WY FNAWS laser game that travels to various events. The
booth was put to good use during the two-day event. Wyoming
Game & Fish Commissioner Jerry Galles, Blaine Daveys of RMEF
and WY FNAWS Past President Jim Collins took time during
Commissioner Galles’ bighorn sheep hunt to plan the event. |
