Three Elk Left to Waste in North Idaho

LEWISTON, Idaho (KLIX)-North Idaho wildlife conservation officers say three elk were found left to waste in what appears to be poaching incidents.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game said initially two cow elk were found shot and left to waste earlier in Nez Perce County off the Reubens-Gifford Highway, then a third was found shot a few days later.
