2 cow elk shot out of season on Salmon Road near Riggins

RIGGINS, Idaho (KIFI) - On the morning of Jan. 9, two cow elk were shot out of season along the Big Salmon Road near Riggins.

This stretch of road receives a fair amount of morning traffic from sportsmen and public alike.

Much of the meat was salvaged prior to Fish & Game being notified.

It is probable that motorists or sportsmen noticed the shooter’s vehicle along north bank of Salmon Road near Lake Creek Bridge and could offer information leading to the arrest of those responsible.
