Fish and Game Seeks Info on Poached Elk

A poacher or poachers killed a bull elk Sunday evening, October 14, or Monday, October 15, between the Rock Creek Road and the Jenkins Creek Road near Weiser. The poachers only took the head, the antlers, and the cape. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is looking for any information that will lead to the conviction of the person or persons who killed the elk and left all but the head. The elk was discovered by a landowner who reported it to Fish and Game. Some evidence was collected at the scene, but anyone in the area is encouraged to call the Nampa Fish and Game office at 208-465-8465, the Citizens Against Poaching hotline 1-800-632-5999 or the Washington County Sheriff's office at 208-414-2121 and ask for Mark Sands. Callers may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward.
