AR-News: (US WY) Officials investigate poaching and roped deer

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

Local state Game and Fish officials are investigating two recent reports in 
which one deer was poached and another was found with a rope around an antler, 
officials said.
A passerby noticed the large buck mule deer with the rope attached to an 
antler as it was grazing Wednesday in an area south of Gillette, game warden Bruce 
Scigliano said.
Scigliano said the report is the latest in a trend involving illegally 
capturing deer. "This was not an accident," he said. "Someone deliberately roped the 
buck for either sport or to capture the animal."
