Manitoba conservation officers are looking for tips about the wasteful killing of a moose near Wabowden.

The carcass was discovered along Ferguson Cree northwest of Wabowden on Sept. 25 and a social media post about the illegal hunting and wastage said it had probably been dead for about a week at that point, based on the level of decay.

The dead moose was within 10 yards of the creek shore and there were no signs of any attempt having been made to salvage any of the meat.

Anyone with information about this killing can call the Thompson district office at 1-204-677-6640 or the Turn in Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-782-0076.
