ESTEVAN — Estevan conservation officers received a complaint of a white-tailed deer buck that was shot and left to waste on private land west of Hitchcock, according to Sasktip, which is a non-profit organization that works with conservation officers to solve environmental crimes, including poaching cases. A post on their Facebook page says the call came in on Nov. 23.
Conservation officers located the deer and did not find any evidence to indicate that a retrieval attempt was made.
Officers believe that the animal was killed the evening of Nov. 22, and while some evidence was collected at the scene, officers need the public’s help in identifying who may be responsible.
If you have any information, please call the TIPP line at 1-800-667-7561.
The caller doesn’t have to give their name, and they may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.
