Wildlife authorities are investigating the case of a bull elk that was shot and killed northwest of Butte earlier this month. Montana FWP game wardens say the bull was shot around 9:30 p. m. on Sept. 10. Witnesses say they heard gunshots and saw a dark Chevrolet pickup truck with a silver Delta toolbox at the scene, shining a spotlight on the elk, and fleeing toward Columbia Hail Road. The six-point bull was killed on private land along North Browns Gulch Road about 5 miles northwest of Butte.
