IDFG Seeks Information on Poaching Of Cow Moose Pregnant With Two Calves In Teton Basin
Posted on: April 18, 2008
FELT- On March 22, 2008, Senior Conservation Officer Shane Liss received a call regarding an apparent moose poaching incident west of Felt, Idaho. Upon investigation of the scene, Officer Liss found the carcass of a female moose that had been shot. Further investigation revealed that the cow was carrying twin fetuses that would have been born this spring. The Idaho Department of Fish & Game (IDFG) via its Citizens Against Poaching (CAP) Hotline is seeking any information that the public might have relating to this incident. Callers to 1-800-632-5999 can remain anonymous and rewards are possible.
While investigating the scene of the dumping, officers were able to collect a wide variety of forensic evidence that could be used to verify leads supplied by the public. The carcass was partially concealed by a large black plastic tarp and shoved under a small wooden footbridge two miles west of Felt, in Fremont County, Idaho.
