Deer

If you consider yourself a sportsman, I may have found a Wyoming ranch that will drop your jaw. It has just about every sporting and outdoor activity you could ever imagine.

Experts say the loss of critical habitat like migration corridors have contributed in part to population decline for some species.

An investigation is ongoing.

Police sharpshooters have killed 151 deer since the local program began.

Deputy Hays and Deputy Peterson worked together to lasso the deer and haul it to shore.

Anyone with information on this or any other wildlife violation can call the Stop Poaching Hotline at 1-877-WGFD-TIP, or 1-307-777-4330 for out-of-state calls.

The deer were killed in early November.

Wheatland Game Warden David Ellsworth says the incident likely occurred on the evening of Oct. 22.

The terms of restitution were calculated at $4,000 for each animal that was shot, in addition to $110,000 in fines.

Morgan Pfander, regional wildlife population biologist, said Fish and Game collects samples from an animal's lymph nodes behind the throat at the base of the skull.
