Someone poached a cow and calf moose near Kamiah on July 19th between 7pm and 9pm. Now Fish & Game is looking for the person or people responsible.
The moose carcasses were found east of Kamiah in a meadow about 50 yards from Forest Service Road 500, near its intersection with Forest Service Road 5125. Both moose are believed to have been shot with a rifle from the road. In addition to these animals being killed out of season, Conservation Officers responding to the scene discovered about 75-100 pounds of meat were left to waste, including an entire quarter of the animal and portions of both backstraps.
If you have information about what happened, you’re encouraged to contact Fish and Game Senior Conservation Officer Aaron Wright at (208) 921-4172 or the Citizens Against Poaching Hotline at (800-632-5999, or report on the Fish and Game’s enforcement tip line. You can remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
