Fish and Game Seeks Information About Moose Poaching Near Wallace

Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking information regarding the poaching of a cow moose on the Burke Creek Canyon Road (outside of Wallace) going towards Glidden Lake. The carcass was found about 20 yards above the road, and the poachers constructed a wall of branches to hide their activities from the road.
