WGFD investigates poaching case

Baggs Game Warden Kim Olson is looking for information about a spike elk poached during the cow elk season in hunt area 21.

“I investigated a poached spike elk, killed around 10 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11, in hunt area 21,” Olson said. “The poaching occurred in the McCarty Canyon area. I know there were other hunters in the vicinity. A calf elk was legally harvested in the area and I am hopeful that someone saw something that might help me solve this crime. It is not too late for the shooter to do the right thing and turn themselves in.”

Anyone with information on these or any wildlife violation may also call the Stop Poaching Hotline at 1-877-WGFD-TIP (1-877-943-3847). Tips may also be reported to the Wyoming Game and Fish in Baggs and Green River. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $5,000 if the information leads to a conviction.
