HASTY, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking the public for help identifying the person who killed two cow elk at the John Martin Reservoir State Wildlife Area and left them to waste.
CPW officers responded to a call on Dec. 13 about two cow elk that had been shot and left in the southwest portion of the wildlife area in Game Management Unit 146.
Officers found the dead elk in an area east of the Keller tract and west of Rule Creek, between the south bank of the reservoir and the railroad tracks.
Officers believe the elk were shot sometime on Dec. 11-12. While investigating, officers discovered evidence that a third elk had been shot, its carcass cleaned and removed from the same area.
