Ministry Seeks Public’s Help in Identifying Individuals who Discarded Moose Meat
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is seeking the public’s help in identifying the individuals responsible for discarding moose meat near Manitouwadge.
Conservation officers received a complaint on the evening of April 28, 2015, that the front right quarter of a moose had been found at the one kilometre marker on Twist Road, northeast of Manitouwadge. The quarter appeared to have been field dressed and split with a reciprocating saw vertically along the spine, and stored whole prior to being discarded on the side of the road.
It is believed that the moose meat was discarded between April 21, 2015, and the date the complaint was received.
