The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is investigating the poaching of a bull elk north of Potlatch.
The animal was found wasted last Thursday in a wheat field near McKown Road. The elk had been shot one time with only the antlers and ivories removed, and all of the meat was left to waste.
It is believed the elk was killed sometime between Sunday October 13th and Wednesday the 16th.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call Fish and Game at (208) 716-8099 or call the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward. (IDFG)
