A southeastern Wisconsin woman is facing a $6,152 fine for shooting and killing two bull elk while deer hunting last month in Rusk County.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issued a $6,152.50 ticket to Salina Ann Beltran, 41, for hunting elk during closed season, a non-traffic ordinance violation, according to online court records.

The elk — a fork-horn and a spike — were shot within minutes of each other shortly before 8 a.m. Nov. 25 on private property near Big Falls.

Beltran was hunting alone in a tree stand when she shot the elk.
