A poacher shot and killed a cow moose in Southwest Idaho, a region with a low moose population and no hunting season for the species, according to a news release from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

Officials said the female moose was found dead on Oct. 15 in Hunt Unit 32A near No Business Mountain, a peak in Adams County that’s west of Lake Cascade. The animal was near Forest Road 245 and Middle Fork Weiser River Road.
