A Colorado man has received a court summons to the Yukon Kuksokwim Delta after failing to properly salvage a moose.
Brent Wareham, age 57, of Montrose, Colorado has an October court date in Aniak for failing to salvage all edible meat from a moose and for removing the antlers from the field before the meat.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers discovered the partially salvaged moose just south of Marshall last week. According to the trooper dispatch, an entire side of ribs and 53 pounds of neck meat was left on the tundra.
Troopers discovered that Wareham had been flown to the area. When contacted, he admitted to shooting a moose there earlier this month. He said that he had left the meat behind because he didn’t think it was good after attempting to recover the moose from the water.
The antlers have been seized as evidence. Wareham’s court date is October 12 at the Aniak District Court.
