Idaho Fish and Game conservation officers recently received a Citizens Against Poaching (CAP) report that led them to a dead moose in the South Hills, south of Twin Falls. Once located, officers found a headless moose along the South Fork Shoshone Creek Road, Forest Service Road 512, between the Rogerson Road and Fawn Springs.
The unlawfully taken moose was found near a dispersed campground along the South Fork Shoshone Creek Road.
Officers believe the moose was killed the weekend of August 10, 2024.
Evidence found at the scene confirmed it was shot during a closed season.
