TIP-MONT Tip Of The Month

Print

A cow elk was taken illegally on May 17 near Clancy, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Warden Sergeant Mike Ottman. The animal appeared to have been killed at another location and then moved onto Forest Service land off of Warm Springs Creek Road. All that remained at the crime scene was the boned-out carcass. This crime was discovered and reported to TIP-MONT by a citizen. Anyone with information on this or other wildlife crimes should call TIP-MONT at 1-800-6668. For Montanans and visitors to the state, the TIP-MONT hotline is the first line of defense against fish and wildlife poaching and parks vandalism. The line is open 24 hours a day and callers can remain anonymous, do not have to testify in court and may receive a reward for a tip that helps to protect Montana’s valuable fish, wildlife and parks resources.
