The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is offering a $2,000 reward for information that will help solve two separate elk poaching cases that occurred near the Nevada-Utah border.

The first investigation involves a bull elk that was shot and killed in Lincoln County on Labor Day weekend. The elk was discovered with its head removed in an area known as Uvada, approximately 1.5 miles from the Utah border.

In the second case, a bull elk was shot and left to waste between the night of December 5 and the morning of December 6 in the area of Reed Cabin Summit in Lincoln County.

Game wardens also believe the antlers were removed from the animal between the evening of December 6 and the morning of December 7.

If you have any information that can help authorities, call the OGT hotline at (800) 992-3030 or use the new NDOW Tip app.
