Nampa — The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking information about the shooting and wasting of a bull elk found near Crane Point north of Potlatch.
Officers say the elk had been shot on or about Oct. 14.
The elk had been field dressed, the antlers removed and the carcass dumped in a forested location.
A newer black Ford pickup with black canopy was observed at the dump site.
“What a complete violation of the law and ethics,” Senior Conservation Officer Mike Dafoe, Potlatch, said.
“We need the citizens’ help in solving this crime.”
Anyone observing suspicious activity in this area or with information about this crime is encouraged to contact Dafoe, (208) 669-1024, Lewiston Fish and Game, (208) 799-5010, the Citizens Against Poaching hotline, (800) 632-5999, or any law enforcement authority.
Callers may remain anonymous, and they may be eligible for cash rewards if the information leads to a citation or a warrant.
