Wildlife officials are investigating after a mule deer was illegally shot and killed in Riverton and left to rot. A witness heard a gunshot just before 11 a.m. on Sept. 23 and saw the deer fall in a field in the 2200 block of Riverview Road. The witness did not see who shot the deer or any vehicles nearby. Wyoming Game and Fish warden Allen Deru says the poaching "takes away from the people who are trying to (hunt) legally." The deer was a mature male and had three points on each antler. No meat or any other part of the animal was removed from the carcass.
