Idaho wildlife managers say two moose were poached and left to waste near Banks, making them the fourth and fifth animals to be illegally killed this month.
Idaho wildlife managers will include public input in a moose management plan that addresses declining populations of the large animal in some parts of the state.
Idaho’s overall moose population is down. In Southern Idaho the numbers are up. Just take a drive in the South Hills and your odds of seeing moose increase every year. Moose are also often wandering through the valleys. A woman at the office recently shared a video. Her daughter filmed a moose jumping a fence and trotting through an open field.
The reward for a moose poaching case in northeastern Nevada has grown to $10,000 to help catch the person or people responsible. The adult moose was illegally killed southeast of Jarbidge last month, according to the Nevada Department of Wildlife.
It's not breaking news or any big revelation that we see a lot of moose in the South Hills. This video is a reminder when those inevitable encounters happen, don't think for a second that the moose loves you and wants to hang out.
