WINNIPEG -- Manitoba conservation officers have bagged eight people for illegally hunting moose.
The province says the eight people have been charged with hunting moose in a conservation area, hunting at night, firing a gun from a vehicle and other offences.
The officers also seized four vehicles, guns and hunting equipment.
The province says the moose population in Manitoba's east-central region has been in decline for years.
To help the population recover the province restricts hunting in some areas.
