The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is investigating the waste of two mule deer bucks dumped south of Idaho Falls.
They were discovered recently south of Sand Creek Golf Course on Henry Creek Road.
“We are asking for your help,” conservation officer Rob Howe said in a news release. “Anyone with knowledge of these two deer is asked to come forward and help us understand what circumstances lead to these deer being left.”
Fish and Game is also seeking information regarding two separate incidents of the waste of big game in Caribou County.
Sometime between Oct. 10 and Oct. 12, a 3 X 3 mule deer buck was shot with a rifle and left to waste south of Blackfoot Reservoir in Unit 72. A member of the public discovered the deer about 100 yards off of China Cap Road.
A member of the public also reported a 2-point mule deer buck left to waste in Unit 74 about 60 yards off of Mountain View Road, six miles west of Grace. The deer was shot with a rifle sometime between Oct. 10 and Oct. 13.
Fish and Game asks anyone who has information related to any of these incidents to contact Senior Conservation Officer Joshua Leal at 208-390-1624 or the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999. Callers may remain anonymous and those with information leading to an arrest are eligible for rewards.
