A report of shots being fired in Yellowstone National Park prompted an investigation that turned up spent shotgun shells, but not the identity of the shooter.
The investigation began Sunday after somebody reported that a man had shot at wolves as they chased his dog in the Sedge Bay area near the East Entrance Road.
According to a news release issued Wednesday, rangers searched the area and found no evidence that wolves were injured.
Investigators are hoping that somebody can identify the man. Discharging firearms in Yellowstone is illegal, and dogs must be leashed or kept in the car. Pets of any kind are not allowed on hiking trails or boardwalks.
The park asks that anyone with information about the incident telephone its tip line at 307-344-2132.
