Species Account:
I was headed to Shoshone from Carey the morning of 8/20/2012 while enroute I came across a cow elk that had been hit by a car.The elk appeared to have a broken back as she kept trying to get up but her back end was not working. The cow could only use her front legs. There was another vehicle there who had notified authorities about the elk the individual said they had been waiting for about 20 min. I made the decision to put the cow down and did so via firearm. I gave fish and game officer lee Garwood a call to let him know that I had dispatched the cow. Due to work obligations I was unable to take the cow I made several phone calls trying to find someone who would want to salvage the cow. I'm not sure if anyone went and got it or not. If you have any questions about the incident feel free to call me at {Phone Number removed by BBES @ IDFG}
