Public's Help Sought in Deer Poaching Case

A poached mule deer buck was discovered near Idaho City on Tuesday, November 4, and Idaho Fish and Game conservation officers are asking the public for information to solve the case.

"The buck was shot and left in the roadside ditch just after daylight," Haynes said. Evidence was collected at the scene, but Haynes would like to visit with anyone who might have information regarding the case.
