So a dead moose on the side of the road. someone took it too eat? Thats illegal? WTF!
 That law/ rule / policy should not even be a rule or law. Your policy's only seem too deem in control of whom gets what. 
What is the problem with someone else taking the moose home too eat?
 And to have someone put in jail over taking ( you said stealing ) that's not theft! Its called feeding yourself. How do you steal a dead animal! Theft would be going into Carr's and stealing meat that has been package and racked!
