Authorities at a national preserve in southern Colorado are searching for a man suspected of poaching an elk last month.
The elk was killed on Sept. 9 or 10 in the Hudson drainage area, north of the Medano Pass parking lot, according to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve staff. The area is on the east side of the national preserve.
National Park Service officials are searching for a 6-foot white man with brown hair and a close-trimmed beard. He was wearing camouflage, a baseball cap and a backpack, and may have carried a compound bow with bright fletching and two elk antlers, federal officials said.
The man is believed to have been driving a dark-colored Ram pickup truck, according to the park service.
Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at GRSA_Law_Enforcement@nps.gov or via phone at 719-589-5807. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
