3 owls killed near Minidoka

Idaho Fish and Game is requesting the public’s help in identifying who is responsible for the killing of three owls.  Two barn owls and one great horned owl were shot and killed approximately 6 miles east of the town of Minidoka on the north side of the railroad tracks.  The three owls were discovered by an old shed and corral complex about a mile north of the railroad tracks off the road that leads to Baker Cave. The owls were most likely killed around the weekend of June 2nd 2018.   The killing of raptors including owls is illegal both on the state and federal level and is punishable by fines and jail time.  Officers would like to speak to anyone that may have been in that area during the time in question. Any information that could help the ongoing investigation would be appreciated.  Information can be provided anonymously to Citizens Against Poaching at 1-800-632-5999 or by calling the IDFG regional office at 208-324-4359.  Information provided to CAP that leads to a conviction is eligible for cash rewards.
