Another Poached Elk Here in Missouri

It is with a heavy heart that I am posting about the sixth elk that has been poached in Missouri in the past few years.  If you didn't already know, we have a wild elk herd here in Missouri, specifically at Peck Conservation Area in Carter County.  Below is a link to the entire story, but if you have any information about the killings, you are encouraged to contact Operation Game Thief at 1-800-392-1111 or the MDC Ozark Regional Office in West Plains at (417) 256-7161.  This gives hunters, conservation, and Missouri a bad reputation aside from the fact that this animal seems to have been killed for no other reason than pleasure.
