The Oregon Hunter’s Association (OHA) is offering a cash reward of $7,500 for information into the poaching of a bull moose in Wallowa County.
Pledges from OHA chapters across the state have poured in to increase the cash reward amount to $7,500 for information leading to the issuance of a citation or arrest for the bull moose unlawfully killed in the Chesnimnus unit.
Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife reported that the bull moose was shot and killed sometime between Nov. 8-11 in Wallowa County.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the moose was shot and partially cut up off of the U.S. Forest Service Road 46 between Teepee Pond and mile marker 35 in the Chesnimnus Big Game Unit. The suspect or suspects accessed the moose carcass from a campsite on the north side of the Forest Service Road 46. Additionally, a side-by-side UTV was used to haul the moose meat and parts from the kill site back to the campsite.
Anyone who was in the vicinity between Nov. 8-11 and who may have information that will help identify the suspect or suspects is asked to call the Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at (800) 452-7888, *OSP(677) or Senior Trooper Mark Knapp at (541) 426-3049.
