FWP seeks info on elk shot near Knowlton

MILES CITY – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is seeking information about elk that were killed last month in the Knowlton area east of Miles City.

On Oct. 28, FWP warden Oliver Gulig was dispatched to a call on private land near the Knowlton Travel Management Area, which is administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Wardens found two elk that had been shot and left to waste in the field.

It is suspected that the elk were shot that same morning. The person(s)who shot the elk had not obtained permission from the landowner to hunt the parcel.
