Investigations continue into separate deer poaching incidents in Lyon County last month.
Lyon County Game Warden Aaron Scheve is asking residents to come forward with any information they might have after single deer were poached Nov. 6 near Roads 70 and X outside Hartford and Nov. 16 near Roads 170 and T east of Emporia. 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.
There is currently no suspect information with either incident. Wardens are looking or a blue Chevy pickup as they investigate the situation at 170 and T.
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.
