Fish and Game seeking information about bull moose illegally shot in western Idaho
Published at | Updated at
The following is a news release from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
Fish and Game conservation officers are asking the public for information regarding bull moose that was illegally killed about a mile from Cabin Creek Road in Unit 32A on Oct. 28. Unit 32A includes Adams, Gem, Valley and Washington Counties.
Conservation officer Ben Hurd responded to a report of a dead, mature bull moose on Oct. 31. Evidence collected at the scene and during a necropsy led officers to believe that the animal was illegally shot a few days before.
Officers received information that a black, four-door flatbed pickup truck, with Valley or Owyhee County plates, was parked near the scene at around the time the moose was shot.
Information leading to charges being filed would be eligible for a reward from the Citizens Against Poaching program. Anyone with information can call the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999, or report it online. Individuals providing information can remain anonymous.
