Unfortunately, the Conservation Officers are busy, they miss out on a lot of personal things as well. The CO that lives a few houses down from me was unable to attend a gathering at my neighbors house a few weekends ago on a Sat. night, because she was dealing with a moose that had been hit. This was at 6:00 pm and was searching through the woods, instead of enjoying a nice evening with her husband and son.
We only have 36 Conservation officers for the entire state of NH. You really cannot expect them to show up to deal with a small animal that is not really posing a danger.
The biologist's should have some interest in wanting to test suspect animals, but that is a different story all together.
