Already investigating one deer poaching incident, the Lyon County Game Warden’s Office is now investigating a second case since the start of the month.
Warden Aaron Scheve says a deer was shot and killed Wednesday night near the intersection of Roads 170 and T, about two miles east of Emporia. Scheve says early indications are the hunter used a high-powered rifle and shot in the direction of Interstate 35 with vehicles on the highway at the time.
There is currently no suspect information. Wardens are looking or a blue Chevy pickup as they investigate.
Meanwhile, the investigation into a poaching incident Nov. 6 near Hartford has yielded no suspects. A deer was shot near Roads 70 and X that day.
If you have information about either case, call Scheve at 620-431-9873. Poaching penalties can range from fines and restitution to gun forfeiture and revocation of hunting privileges for years if convicted.
