NH Fish and Game Probes 11 Sea Ducks Dumped at Seabrook I-95 Welcome Center

Investigators say ripped tags suggest an attempt to hide hunter identities.

Overview

  • A bag containing 11 dead sea ducks was discovered on Jan. 11 at the Seabrook Welcome Center off Interstate 95.
  • The New Hampshire Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division is investigating the incident as a possible Wanton Waste law violation.
  • Officials report the birds were left intact, and the law cited prohibits purposefully wasting edible or useful parts of hunted animals.
  • Authorities believe the ducks were taken in Massachusetts and transported into New Hampshire before being discarded.
