The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) is asking for the public’s help in solving a poaching case south of Rock Springs.
Game Warden Jared Nelson received a phone call from a concerned citizen Thursday morning, July 21. Nelson investigated the scene and found one male mule deer with the hindquarters and skull cap removed. Nelson also found two dead sage grouse. The grouse and mule deer were most likely poached the previous day, July 20.
The deer and sage grouse were found approximately 1/4 mile south of Rock Springs off of US Highway 430. Nelson believes the animals were poached in another location and dumped at the US Highway 430 site.
Anyone with information on this or any wildlife violation can call Nelson at 307-875-3223 or report the violation to the Stop Poaching Hotline at 1-877-WGFD-TIP. Violations may also be reported on-line at http://gf.state.wy.us

A cash reward may be awarded for a successful conviction in this case.
