Information Wanted on Wasted Elk Near Nez Perce

On Friday, December 27 at approximately 3:00 p.m. a person or persons shot and killed two cow elk and a calf elk. The incident took place on the road that runs north of Albers Rd. (Nez Perce/Clearwater county line) just east of the Gilbert Grade Rd. (Hwy 7). The shooter or shooters made no attempt to recover the elk which were left to waste. Evidence at the scene indicates that the shooters shot from the road and did not at any time exit the vehicle. All sportspersons should be enraged over such a cowardly unlawful act. The persons responsible need to be held accountable for their actions. The illegal killing of wildlife is not a victimless crime. Citizens Against Poaching (CAP) is offering an enhanced reward of $ 1,000 dollars for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for this egregious theft of your wildlife. Anyone having information about this poaching incident is encouraged to call the CAP hotline at 1-800-632-5999 or IDFG Conservation Officer Dave Beaver at 1-208-791-5118. Anyone providing information can remain anonymous.
