There is a huge disconnect between F&G and the Troopers and it is disturbing to me. I don't know if someone ticked someone off, if it is politics, or if it is a anti agenda.
I have been trapping up here for 15 years, the last 2 years things have changed between those 2 office's.
The F&G office has a trapper list for this very reason, and I can not count the number of times I have been called to retrieve a moose in someones yard. To easy. When I signed up in October there were already 12 trappers on that list. Them saying they can't do anything form that lady is wrong.
It used to be that if a moose was smacked and deemed inedible by the Troopers they would notify dispatch and they had the same list as F&G. That is not the case anymore.
So what I am seeing the past 2 years moose that could be used for bait just lay there and rot because those 2 offices are not communicating. The first one I picked up in Oct was laying on the side of the hwy, I had to call F&G, they told me I had to report it, it already had been by the troopers, and it became a --- roll and I had to talk to the 2 office's, in the end I got the moose.
But I question what happened and why is it happening. There was a system that worked and benefited everyone involved, and now there is not.
