Resource Enforcement officers with the Grand Falls-Windsor Detachment are investigating reports of a person alleged to have discharged a firearm from the Trans-Canada Highway to kill a moose near the Grand Falls Golf Club.

Officers discovered a fresh moose paunch, believed to be the kill site, approximately 75 metres west of the last putting green visible from the highway and just three meters into the woods beyond the ditching on highway’s south side.

The incident is believed to have occurred on the afternoon of Monday, September 15, 2025 between the hours of 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. The individual may have been operating a silver or grey pickup truck at the time of the incident.
