The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is seeking information on a buck mule deer that was poached and left to waste near Worland.
Anglers found the headless deer last week on the Bighorn River near the bridge over Fifteen Mile Creek, southwest of Worland.
Upon investigation, Worland Game Warden Matt Lentsch said he found a deer carcass that had been illegally shot, most likely over the Fourth of July weekend. The carcass, which Lentsch said was likely dumped from the bridge, was field dressed and partially wrapped in plastic.
Anyone with possible information regarding this incident, or who was in the area and may have noted suspicious vehicles or activities, is asked to call Lentsch at 307-347-3650, the Cody Game and Fish office at 307-527-7125 or the Stop Poaching Hotline at 1-877-943-3847. Callers may remain anonymous and any information leading to the arrest and conviction may result in a reward of up to $5,000.
