MISSOULA — State wildlife officials are looking for information after a bull moose was poached earlier this week near Clinton.

The moose was found in the Swartz Creek area southwest of Clinton.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks game wardens say that wildlife crimes like this one are often solved because of leads provided by the public.

Anyone with information regarding the poaching is encouraged to contact FWP at 1-800-TIP-MONT (1-800-847-6668). Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to a conviction.
