There aren’t any arrests yet after two deer poaching incidents allegedly in Lyon County from two months ago, but there has been some progress as the individual cases continue.
Lyon County Game Warden says residents have been offering tips to his office since an alleged incident near Roads 70 and X on Nov. 6, followed by an alleged incident near Roads 170 and T 10 days later. In the 170 and T incident, Scheve says the hunter apparently spotlighted the animal before using a high-powered rifle and shooting in the direction of Interstate 35 with vehicles on the highway at the time.
No suspect information has been divulged at this time.
Scheve is asking residents for more information with these cases, so you can call 620-431-9873. Poaching penalties can range from fines and restitution to gun forfeiture and revocation of hunting privileges for years if convicted.
