DENVER—Wildlife officials are investigating after someone shot a bull moose in Dillon and left the carcass to rot.

It appeared the animal was shot in early October, possibly during the first rifle season between Oct. 12 and Oct. 16. Officials are investigating the shooting as a possible mistaken or careless kill by an elk hunter.
