BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Humane Society is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for anyone who can help Idaho authorities track down a rougue and boastful poacher.
The case involves the self-described “Poacher X,” who claimed in a letter to Idaho wildlife officials earlier this month to have illegally killed a whitetail deer, a pronghorn antelope and a turkey.
The Nov. 12 letter to Idaho Fish and Game officials also contained photographs of the dead deer and antelope and the promise to take more wildlife illegally. According to the letter, “Poacher X” writes: “I plan to do all my Idaho hunting like this now.”
State investigators say the letter was postmarked from Everett, Wash.
The reward is being offered by the Humane Society of the United States and The Humane Society Wildlife Trust Fund.
