I can't give specific information as I was not a direct witness and those who were prefer not to pursue the issue due to it involving relatives of neighbours but I just have to rant.
Correct me if I am wrong but draw moose season ended nov 14 in sask and this took place yesterday. First it involves the shooting of a moose on a posted home quarter of land that is well marked by signage and a fence. Second the people who live on the quarter were lied to. Third it was taken out of season.
The people I know we're sitting in their house having breakfast when two hunters knocked on their door saying they shot a moose on their land and it walked over onto the other quarter. My people said the land was posted as this is the home quarter where everyone lives, quads, skates on the frozen ponds and so on. The hunters then say the moose was dead but they would leave it because they did not know the land was posted. ( total BS ). The land owners tell them because it was dead they could fetch it. The landowners are not hunters and were unaware of any regulations ( and an elderly couple).
I went there today and did a little investigating at the kill site.
Blood trail led back to the mooses bed which was 300 yards in from the fence not on the shooters land. No blood in the bed and no tracks coming from the other land. Found the truck tracks on the hunters quarter where they shot from. They were only 450 yd from the persons shop in plain view.
I am furious about this but cannot do anything as I was not there at the time and have been asked to leave it alone because the elderly couple fears what may happen if the neighbour retaliates. If there is a slim chance that the hunter who did this reads this please know that I know who you are and I will be moving into that quarter of land in the next year or two and you will not get away with this BS this once I am there. There are people who are always out and about on this quarter and you shot towards buildings and areas where kids often are out playing. This is why the land is posted. The owners graciously allow hunters on other parts of their land that are away from the house. You made a dangerous shot at an animal standing on posted land. Plus it is out of season and I wonder if you even have a tag. If I was there I would of phoned the CO or RCMP and had charges pressed.
Mods if this post crosses any lines do what you need to but I just had to vent.
