Attention Moose Hunters - Prince George Area

[kootenayelkslayer]

On behalf of the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations, we are currently seeking help from moose hunters in the Prince George region.

As part of an on-going moose research project in the central-interior of BC, we are seeking moose heads to aid in the development of a new, non-invasive method of aging live moose. We require moose heads in order to test this method.

We are currently asking if successful, legal moose hunters would be willing to provide moose heads by donation. I'd like to clarify that this is not a requirement of successful moose hunters. We are seeking reasonably fresh (i.e., no maggots), intact moose heads with the hide attached. The skull plate may be removed if the hunter would like to retain the antlers.

If you are a successful moose hunter in the Prince George region, or are traveling through the region, please contact me at the phone number below and I can help arrange a pick-up or drop-off. Your support would be greatly appreciated!

You can contact me at: 250-961-5869

Thanks,

Mike

How far out are you looking for? Have a shared hunt for 7-03

Also- skinned or not?

We will take moose heads from anywhere in the province. I've specified the Prince George area simply for pick-up or drop-off purposes, as I/we can likely travel only an hour or so from PG to pick up moose heads. If you harvest a moose in 7-03 and happen to be coming through PG at some point afterwards, that would be great. If you may be coming through PG at a later date, the moose heads can certainly be frozen until that time. Thanks for asking.

Also- skinned or not?

Good point, thanks for mentioning that. We require the skin to be intact, particularly around the mouth area. I'll make a note of this in the original post.

What is the research for?

Says it right in his post

That doesn't really tell me a lot though. I don't understand why.
