Man convicted based on moose DNA
SALIDA (AP) - Authorities used moose DNA to convict a Wisconsin man of illegally killing a moose near St. Elmo.

State Division of Wildlife district manager Ron Dobson began investigating after finding a moose skull that had been dug up by a bear.

"It was obvious to me that whoever killed the moose went to a great deal of trouble to conceal the crime by burying portions of the hide and skull. If it hadn't been for the bear, the evidence might still be buried," Dobson said.

A citizen's tip pointed them to Charles Pedraza of Oshkosh, Wis., and a computer revealed he had an elk license for the period

2. Well, there would have been skin and hair samples on the moose's remains
Someone went thru a lot of trouble to nail the guy.
