Geese left to waste in Franklin dumpster
FRANKLIN, Idaho (KIFI) - The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking information regarding the waste of four Canada geese in the Southeast Region.
On Dec. 7, a concerned citizen reported the dead geese which had been dropped into a dumpster located at the corner of Main Street and Highway 91 in the southeast Idaho town of Franklin. Some of the breast meat had been removed from one goose; however, no attempts had been made to properly salvage meat from the other three.
According to Idaho Code 36-1202, hunters must take the edible portions of harvested game birds which in the case of waterfowl is the breast meat.
