MISSOULA - Four Kalispell men face felony poaching charges for allegedly killing six big-game animals near Helmville.

Court records state that in January a game warden followed a bloody drag mark from a road to a cabin where the men were staying. The carcasses of a bull moose, an antlerless elk, three doe mule deer and a buck mule deer were found near the cabin. The animals had been shot.

Those charged include:
- Benjamin Bolt, 21
- His brother, Nicholas Bolt, 20
- Benjamin Woodson, 24
- and Brandon Mitchell, 22
