High Prairie fish and wildlife officers are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individual(s) responsible for shooting two moose on gravel road n...orth of Sunset House, Alberta in the early morning on January 4. Fish and wildlife officers received a report of two moose that were located tethered together on the shoulder of a gravel road north six miles north of Sunset House, Alberta (see photo for the exact location of the incident). Officers learned that the moose were unlawfully shot at around 4:30AM on private property, and later left to waste on the side of Township Road 724 and Range Road 192. At the time of the offence, the suspects fled the scene dragging the two moose behind a silver Ford F150. The moose were dragged four miles down the gravel road before unhooking from the suspect’s vehicle. The suspect’s vehicle was last observed travelling east bound on Highway 2 past Tolko Industries through the community of High Prairie between 5-6:00am on January 4th, 2021. Anyone who might have observed a silver Ford F150 in the area or have any information about this incident are asked to contact the 24-hour Report A Poacher line toll free at 1-800-642-3800 or submit a report online at https://www.alberta.ca/report-poacher.aspx. Callers can choose to remain anonymous and can be eligible for an award.

ANNOUNCEMENT As of October 1, members of the Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch are joining the Alberta Sheriffs and will now be called the Alberta Sheriffs ... Conservation Services. This integration does not change anything for Albertans. Under the new banner of Alberta Sheriffs Conservation Services, these officers will maintain the same mandate and perform the same primary functions to: - help conserve and protect the province’s natural resources by ensuring everyone understands and complies with wildlife and fisheries legislation, - ensure the public’s safety and protection of property in regards to wildlife. You can still contact the same local offices across the province by reaching out to one of offices listed on this page: https://www.alberta.ca/fish-and-wildlife-contacts.aspx Members of the public can continue to report suspicious or illegal hunting or fishing activity and dangerous wildlife emergencies through the 24-hour Report A Poacher line at 1-800-642-3800 or online at alberta.ca/report-poacher.aspx. Fish and wildlife officers have always had strong working relationships with Alberta’s sheriffs with the same goal of keeping everyone safe. The integration of the two organizations into one service will result in coordinated command, as well as reduced administration costs. On this note, the Alberta Sheriffs Conservation Services is looking forward to continuing to serve Albertans, side-by-side with our new colleagues.
