Wild Moose Illegally Killed In NW Minnesota

FOSSTON, Minn. (AP) — Federal wildlife officials are asking for the public's help in finding whoever illegally killed a wild moose in northwestern Minnesota.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says wildlife officers discovered a moose that had been shot and left to waste during the 2014 firearms deer season. The moose was killed a few miles south of Fosston.

Wildlife officials note that Minnesota's moose population is declining.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Fish and Wildlife Service at 218-844-3423.
