RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Officials are investigating the shooting of a moose that wandered into the Black Hills.
Mike Kintigh with the Game, Fish and Parks Department at Rapid City said hunters found the wounded animal near Deerfield Lake on Friday and called authorities. It died soon after of a single gunshot wound.
The state does not have a hunting season on moose. The elk hunting season is under way, but Kintigh said its unlikely that the moose was mistaken for an elk.
The young male moose had been spotted in recent weeks in Custer State Park and other areas in the Black Hills.
The Turn In Poachers program is offering a $1,000 reward for the identification and arrest of whoever is responsible for the moose death.
