Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks game wardens are seeking information on two mule deer bucks that were poached in the lower Eight Mile Road area east of Florence, FWP said Monday in a news release.
The first deer was discovered on Friday, Oct. 4, and the other was found in the same location on Tuesday, Oct. 8, FWP said. It said both deer were shot and left to waste.
FWP game wardens say that wildlife crimes like this one are often solved because of leads from the public and encourage anyone with information to make a report.
