BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is asking for the public’s help in solving what appears to be a moose poaching case.
Fish and Game posted on its Facebook page Tuesday that a conservation officer found only the head of a young cow moose on Rocky Ridge Yurt Road. That’s north of Idaho City just a short distance from Highway 21.
There is no moose hunting season in this area. The officer believes it was either a case of mistaken identity, perhaps the hunter thought it was a cow elk, or this is poaching.
Fish and Game needs the public’s help to solve this case.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at (1-800-632-5999) or the Fish and Game regional office in Nampa at (208-465-8465).
