Bull elk carcass found unclaimed near harvest site of another elk
TOSTON – Game wardens with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks are looking for tips from the public about two bull elk that were killed in Hunting District 380 west of Toston.
Specifically, game wardens are looking for information about a hunting party who harvested and removed a bull elk on Sunday, Nov. 30, which was the last day of the general season. In the same area, wardens found an untouched carcass of a second bull elk. FWP game wardens believe the hunting party that harvested and removed the elk on Nov. 30 may have information related to the unclaimed elk.
This area is between two county roads that access the hunting district—Johnny’s Gulch Road and North Fork of Lone Mountain Road. The elk was found in an area adjacent to large Bonneville Power Administration transmission lines near the Bureau of Land Management access road referred to as Dandy Road.
FWP wardens are interested in visiting with anyone who may have been in that area on the morning of Nov. 30, specifically the hunting party associated with harvesting a bull elk there. Anyone with information is asked to contact game warden Jacie Vonada at 406-502-8581 or visit tipmont.mt.gov.
