Idaho Fish and Game officers are seeking information from the public regarding a young calf moose that was shot and killed south of Driggs and discovered Sunday. Cold weather made determining the timing of the incident difficult, but it was estimated to have happened about a week prior to the discovery of the dead moose Fish and Game Officer Rob Howe says the moose was killed with birdshot from a shotgun. He says apparently people assume that using birdshot on a moose is a safe way to haze them away from an area, but the moose can end up dying several days later from a single pellet in its’ gut, which is a long and painful way to die. Anyone with information on the killing of this moose is encouraged to either call the Citizens Against Poaching (CAP) hotline at 1-800-632-5999, contact Officer Rob Howe at 208-360-0634, or report online at https://idfg.idaho.gov/poacher. People can remain anonymous when reporting poaching activities and are eligible for cash rewards when that information leads to a citation for a wildlife crime.
