KINGMAN
The Arizona Game and Fish Department's Operation Game Thief, in conjunction with the Mule Deer Foundation and Mohave County Silent Witness, are offering up to $3,000 in rewards for information regarding the poaching of two deer.
The hides of two deer, a doe and buck, were found in early December off Seneca Road near the cross streets of Dakota and Comanche near a construction site in Kingman. Arizona Game and Fish Department Wildlife Manager Lainie Antolik believes this was a dumping area.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Operation Game Thief 24-hour hotline at (800) 352-0700. Caller identities will remain confidential.
