NDGF seeking information

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is looking for information on the illegal shooting of a moose in southwestern Traill County.

According to Jason Scott, district game warden for the Game and Fish Department in Fargo, the bull moose was shot sometime Saturday evening or Sunday morning about five miles east and 2 1/2 miles north of Galesburg, N.D.

Anyone with information about the poaching incident is asked to call the Report All Poachers hotline at 800-472-2121. The RAP line offers rewards for information that leads to conviction of fish and wildlife law violators. Callers can remain anonymous.

The bull near Galesburg wasn’t the only moose to be poached last weekend. In northwestern Minnesota, a healthy cow moose was shot sometime Saturday night or early Sunday morning near High Landing Township of Pennington County. Anyone with information about the Minnesota shooting should call the state’s Turn in Poachers hotline at 800-652-9093 or #TIP by cell phone.
