At approximately 0900 on Friday, Nov 8, a sportsman witnessed three men haul a dead elk out of a clearcut off of O'Mill Road above the O'Mill railway siding near Weippe. The elk was loaded into the back of a newer black F150 Ford truck and then covered in firewood before suspects drove away.  There is no elk season open in this area at this time.
