Known Breeding Elk Found Illegally Shot

State officials say a well-known breeding bull elk was found illegally shot.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources found the bull, on March 18th. The dead animal was located on private property off East Snow Creek Road, just north of Black River Falls. The elk died from gunshot wound injuries. The DNR says it was one of the primary breeding bulls for the Central Elk Herd, and was among the last of the remaining elk brought to the state from Kentucky in 2016.
