Gear 101 - Mathews Bow Maintenance

If you prioritize cleaning and maintenance, a bow can last you forever, or at least 30 years.

Blackfoot Watershed Habitat Enhancement, Montana - Restoring Elk Country

The Blackfoot-Clearwater Wildlife Management Area focused on enhancing winter forage quantity and quality by thinning overstocked and beetle-killed trees within a swath of grassland and bordering aspen stands. RMEF funds went toward removing young ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir that both clogged up the forest floor and served as dangerous ladder fuels for potential large wildfires. The resulting treatment greatly enhanced elk forage, reduced the possibility of pine beetle infestation and improved overall forest health.
