He shot the elk, which boasted a unique antler configuration that made it easily identifiable, on private property in Kootenai County.Conservation officers, acting on a tip, searched Rose’s residence on Sept. 11 and discovered the elk carcass.“The investigation revealed that the elk had been killed by two lethal shots from a rifle, and that an arrow had been inserted into the carcass after the animal was already dead,” Idaho Fish and Game explained in a news release.The rifle Rose was said to have used was equipped with a silencer. The rifle, elk antlers and meat, and archery equipment were seized as evidence.“Additional evidence revealed that Rose had been specifically targeting the trophy-class bull elk during the archery-only season, which overlaps the rutting period for elk in North Idaho,” Idaho Fish and Game stated. “After the elk was killed with a rifle, Rose posed in photos with the elk with an arrow protruding from the carcass.”A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for August.</blockquote>
