Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks game wardens continue to look for information on two mule deer bucks that were poached in the lower Eight Mile Road area east of Florence earlier this month, FWP said Monday in a news release.

FWP said the potential cash reward for tips was increased to $2,000 thanks to a private donation.

The first deer was discovered on Friday, Oct. 4, and the other was found in the same location on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Both deer were shot and left to waste, FWP said.

FWP game wardens say that wildlife crimes like this one are often solved because of leads from the public and encourage anyone with information to make a report. Contact FWP Game Warden Taylor Gagnon at (406) 552-9335.

Visit tipmont.mt.gov for more information on reporting natural resource crimes.

FWP said tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 through the TIP-MONT program, and Montana Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife added an additional $1,000 to the reward for this particular case.
