Help Sought in Elk Poaching Case

Idaho Fish and Game is seelomg information about the poaching of three elk cows in game management unit 27, five miles below Dagger Falls. Conservation Officer Ben Cadwallader responded to a report of five poached elk cows, with several left to waste. Cadwallader found three dead elk in the reported location and evidence that others had been shot, field dressed and removed from the area. Evidence was collected at the scene, but Cadwallader hopes to learn more about the case from an eyewitness.
