KAWARTHA LAKES-The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (NDMNRF) is asking the for the public’s help with identifying the individual(s) who shot and killed three moose out of season in Algonquin Provincial Park.

The ministry believes that sometime between December 26, 2021 and January 4, 2022  a bull, cow, and calf moose were all shot and killed in the Upper Redstone Lake area of Eyre Township in Algonquin Provincial Park. The calf was removed whole, whereas the cow and bull were quartered leaving approximately 30 percent to spoil.
