Information Sought On Deer Poaching West Of Idaho Falls

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is investigating a recently reported poaching case and is asking for the public's help with information to solve this case. About two to three weeks ago, a group of three or four young men in their late teens or early 20s were seen west of Idaho Falls, hunting deer on private land adjacent to Road 105 West. Five deer were shot, including three bucks, a doe and a fawn. The bucks were killed and later taken, the fawn left to rot. The doe, which was still alive, was tied up and put in the back of a pickup truck. The doe later escaped. The vehicle used is described as a newer Chevy or GMC pickup truck, possibly 2000-2004 year model dark green over brown. Anyone with information please contact Conservation Officer Dan Kelsey at the Idaho Department of Fish & Game at 208-525-7290 or 208-390-0627. Callers may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward through the Citizen's Against Poaching program.
