Idaho Fish And Game Looking For Information On Poached Wildlife

Idaho Fish and Game is investigating two recent incidents of illegal take of a white-tailed deer and bull elk near Wallace, and investigators are asking for your help with information.  It’s believed the first poaching took place late January 9th into early January 10th.  A bull elk was illegally taken during the closed season near the bottom of Moon Pass Road at Placer Creek near Wallace.  The head was taken, and it appeared attempts were made to hide the carcass.

The second incident occurred on the morning of January 17th off Government Gulch Road near Kellogg.  A deer was illegally taken during the closed season on a private landowner’s driveway.

Anyone with information on either of these incidents is asked to call the Panhandle Regional Office at (208) 769-1414 or call the Citizen Against Poaching hotline at 1-(800) 632-5999.  Information can also be reported On-line.
