IDFG Seeks Help Solving Elk Poaching

ELK RIVER - The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking information concerning the shooting and wasting of a cow elk near Elk River. The elk is thought to have been killed December 3rd or 4th, 2002, and shot from the 1963 Road in the Long Meadows area. The poachers attempted to butcher the animal, but the vast majority of meat was left to waste. Anyone camped in the Long Meadows area or traveling the 1963 Road between Park Ranch and Elk River or the Three Bear Road between Southwick and Elk River, with information about this crime, are encouraged to contact the Fish and Game office in Lewiston at 208-799-5010, or the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999. Callers will remain anonymous, and cash rewards are available if the information is sufficient for a citation or a warrant to be issued. A conviction is not necessary.
