LARAMIE, Wyo. – The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is looking for information about a cow moose that was poached on state land north of Buford.
Laramie Game Warden Kelly Todd says the cow moose was shot sometime around the weekend of Nov. 9-10.
The cow was shot through the back legs and eventually died in South Crow Creek. A bull moose calf was spotted hanging around the cow’s body.
It is illegal to shoot a cow moose with a calf at its side that hunting area.
Todd says a hunter may have mistaken the moose for an elk. He says hunters need to be aware of what they’re shooting at. [Always good advice!]
The game department is asking anyone with information about the crime to come forward.
