The public’s help is sought in the killing of two cow elk north of Carey in the area of Road Canyon.

Fish and Game officers received a report of two cow elk, one fully intact and the other partially processed, that had been left to rot up Road Canyon along the Little Fish Creek Road. A bull elk carcass was also found at the scene but with an open antlered elk hunt at the time it is thought the bull was taken legally.
