The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is investigating the illegal shooting and wasting of a white-tailed buck.
According to a news release, Saturday night around 8:00 p.m., the buck was shot and left to waste off Woodside Road, just south of Winchester Lake State Park. The deer appears to have been shot at night using a spotlight and high caliber rifle. No attempt seemed to be made to recover or harvest any portion of the meat.
This case is still under investigation by Idaho Fish and Game conservation officers.
The Citizens Against Poaching organization is offering a $400 reward for anyone who has information that helps lead to prosecution of the case.
Anyone with information about this case or related wildlife criminal activity is encouraged to call CAP hotline at 1-800-632-5999. Anyone who comes forward with information can remain anonymous.
