Melting snow has revealed several moose carcasses near Postill Lake Road that has concerned one Kelowna man.
Sean Heddle was in the area with his mother when he found the remains.
Not only was he disgusted to see the moose heads missing horns, he was upset to see them near a popular road, as it would attract predators.

Conservation Officer Josh Lockwood says this is not a fresh kill.
Officers were first alerted to this animal dump early in the winter before it was covered in snow.

香蕉视频直播淥fficers attended and determined it was a lawful kill. Someone had taken the parts and put them out in an area to be disposed of by natural predators.香蕉视频直播
Lockwood says this move is entirely legal, but Conservation Officers would prefer hunters choose somewhere further from the public to dispose of the carcasses.
香蕉视频直播淭his was not a good location,香蕉视频直播 says Lockwood. 香蕉视频直播淲e would much prefer that responsible hunters take their remains to a spot where it is not going to be located, if they are going to feed it back to nature.
香蕉视频直播淣ot so close to a road, not so close to residents because it does track predators and we want to avoid that at all costs.香蕉视频直播
Lockwood says when placed appropriately the carcasses do have a place in nature.
