A member of the public found moose parts with several large portions of meat still attached to the bone. Conservation officers believe it was dumped there on or around October 4, 2020. It is against the law to waste meat from a harvested animal.

Conservation Officers are asking for help to identify who is responsible for wasting meat from a harvested animal.

Conservation officers believe it was dumped there on or around October 4, 2020. It is against the law to waste meat from a harvested animal.
