Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is looking for two stolen moose crossing signs from Missouri Headwaters State Park. The theft is a problem region-wide, according to a Dec. 13 FWP press release.
The moose crossing signs went missing from the state park in November, but other signs have been stolen in Lost Creek State Park, Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park, Limespur Fishing Access Site and Williams Bridge Fishing Access Site.
In recent years, more than 20 signs have been stolen from southwestern Montana sites, according to the release.
“Stealing from a state park or a fishing access site is stealing from the people of Montana,” stated Linnaea Schroeer, regional parks and outdoor recreation program manager. “This puts an unnecessary financial burden on public resources, and it detracts from the experience of visitors.”
Those with information about stolen signs can reach out to a local game warden, and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.
