Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 6 game wardens are seeking information regarding two bull elk found shot and killed south of Chinook last week.

On Feb. 14, 2019, Region 6 Havre wardens received a tip call about a dead bull elk approximately two miles north of Cow Creek Reservoir off Lloyd Road, about 30 miles south of Chinook. Wardens responded and found a 7x7 bull elk. Another bull elk, this one a 6x6, was found dead nearby.

After further investigation, wardens determined the elk were shot and left to waste. It is believed the elk were shot anywhere between Sunday, Feb. 11 and Wednesday, Feb. 13.

Anyone with information about these poached elk are encouraged to call Chinook-area warden Haden Hussey at 406-942-2191. People can also call the tip hotline at 1-800-TIP-MONT (847-6668). Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward on information that leads to a conviction.
