October 10, 2012 |
Today a fresh moose carcass was discovered along
the Selkirk Crest’s popular Harrison Lake Trail,
prompting local Forest Service officials to
issue a wildlife hazard warning for the trail.
No conflicts between humans and wildlife have
been reported at this time, but members of the
public are urged not to use the trail and to
avoid traveling within the vicinity of the
carcass.
The carcass is located approximately one half
mile from the trailhead and is likely to attract
wildlife, including predators such as grizzly
bears and mountain lions, in the foreseeable
future.
It is unknown what caused the moose’s death.
For more information on this trail or general
forest conditions members of the public are
encouraged to contact the Sandpoint Ranger
District at (208) 263-5111 or their local
Forest Service office.
