Information Sought In Pronghorn Poaching At Telephone Canyon

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is seeking your help in solving a recent pronghorn antelope poaching case. According to Green River Game Warden Duane Kerr, sometime on August 28th a two-year-old buck pronghorn antelope was shot and left to rot in Telephone Canyon, just west of Green River. Kerr says a concerned citizen who walks regularly in the area made the report. Kerr says the crime is a serious one.






A judge can also require the person responsible to pay the Department for the cost of the animal they killed. Kerr is just hoping whoever is responsible may have bragged to someone who will come forward to report it.






Anyone with information can contact the Green River Game and Fish office at 307-875-3223, the Stop Poaching hotline at 1-877-WGFD-TIP, or game Warden Duane Kerr at 307-875-3325. Tips may also be reported on line at gf.state.wy.us/stoppoaching. Tips may result in a reward of up to 5 thousand dollars even if you choose to remain anonymous.
