Someone Stole Your Elk!

The definition of poaching is to illegally hunt or catch (game or fish) on land that is not one’s own or in contravention of official protection. Another definition is to steal a public resource. 

Well, someone in Montana stole an elk from all of us and we all need to get the word out so this poacher can be caught and brought to justice!

According to Q2 News out of Billings, “Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is offering a reward of as much as $1,000 for information about a large, mature bull elk that was shot illegally Sunday night along Sarpy Basin Road east of Hardin and left to waste.

“Anyone who reports information that leads to a conviction in the case is eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 by calling Ladd at 406-860-7808 or anonymously to FWP’s 24-hour crime-reporting line at 1-800-TIP-MONT (800-847-6668).”

But don’t just do it for the reward money. This poacher stole an elk from us, the public. Wildlife in America is a public resource and someone just robbed our bank!
