Species Account:
I was notified by IDT employee of a wounded cow elk 1.5 miles north of North Fork on Hwy 93. I contacted Conservation Officer Matt Shepard of the animal and responded. The animal was in the burrow pit with it's head raised. As I approached the animal she tried to move but could only use her front legs. She tried several times to get up with no success. She could not move her hind legs and it was apparent the her back was broken. I then dispatched the animal and removed her from the side of the road.
