Two Elk Poached in Goose Creek

By Jill Kuraitis, 6-11-07

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game wants to know who shot two mature bull elk and left them to rot in the Goose Creek drainage south of Oakley.

The incident probably happened mid-March.

About three years earlier, two other bulls were found shot and wasted in the same drainage, about two miles north of the Utah border.

Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to contact the Fish and Game office in Jerome at 208-324-4359, or the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999.

Callers to the Citizens Against Poaching hotline may remain anonymous, and may be eligible for cash rewards if the information leads to a citation or a warrant. A conviction is not necessary.
