WOLFEBORO — A York Road man has been charged with moose poaching after a N.H. Fish and Game Department investigation was triggered by an anonymous game thief tip.
Police said the tip came to them on Saturday and on Sunday police they found a 40-gallon tub filled with fresh moose meat at the residence of Barry Caswell of York Road.
The carcass of the young male moose was found buried in three feet of earth that was covered by six-foot brush pile.
Caswell allegedly admitted to poaching the moose on his property and burying the carcass with a backhoe.
He is charged with one misdemeanor count of taking a moose out of season. If convicted he can be fined up to $1,000.
New Hampshire's Conservation officers ask that people who see any suspicious wildlife-related activity to Operation Game Thief at 1-800-344-4262.
