Doe Deer Poached in Carbon County!
Price -- The Division of Wildlife Resources is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person (s) responsible for killing a doe deer in Carbon County sometime between Saturday evening, April 2 and Monday morning, April 4.
The doe was poached near the Wildcat Loadout off Consumers Road near a sediment pond west of the railroad tracks. The doe had apparently gone to the sediment pond for a drink and was shot in the neck.
"With the high number of antler collectors afield, someone may have witnessed the crime," says Stacey Jones, DWR conservation officer. "While the killing of a doe may not seem like a big deal, every mortality is hard on herd production. The death of a doe results in the death of her unborn fawn and the future reproductive potential of both individuals."
Anyone with information regarding the killing of this doe should call Jones at (435) 820-6445 or the DWR's Help Stop Poaching Hotline at 1-800-662-DEER (3337).
Those who provide information may remain anonymous. A reward will be offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person (s) responsible.
