Bull elk and whitetail buck shot and left in south Blaine County, wardens seeking information

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks game wardens are seeking any information regarding a bull elk and whitetail buck that were shot, had their heads removed, and were left to waste in south Blaine County.

Wardens received a report of the dead elk and deer, and after investigating, located them on private property about ¾ of a mile south of the junction of People’s Creek Road and Birdtail Road in south Blaine County, about 30 miles south of Chinook. The animals were shot with a firearm, and likely killed between the evening of Nov. 20 and early on Nov. 21.

Anyone with possible information about this incident is asked to visit tipmont.mt.gov to provide details, or call Warden Investigator Dirk Paulsen directly at 406-230-2277. Those who report information may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.
