The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribers (CSKT) is investigating an elk that was poached at the Bison Range.
"An investigation was immediately opened when a poached bull elk was found disrespectfully dumped in the canal on the Bison Range with its head cut off," CSKT reported. "All efforts are being made to find out any information concerning this case and all leads are actively being investigated.
We cannot confirm at this time that this elk is the ionic non-typical elk known as 'Harold,' who has been widely admired by many Bison Range visitors annually."
CSKT reported that efforts have been made to locate Harold in one of his many typical hideout locations, but they have not been able to confirm his location. On average, around full bull elk die annually on the Bison Range, due to injuries sustained from rut or natural causes.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Tribal Game Warden Garrett Fenton at (406) 360-8193 or [email protected].
