CPW seeks information in deer poaching case out of Park County; $1,000 reward offered for information leading to charges

LAKE GEORGE, Colo. - Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking the public to report any information regarding three mule deer that were illegally killed in Park County.

Through Operation Game Thief, Colorado Parks and Wildlife is offering a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to charges in this case.

At least two of the deer had wounds from a broadhead and were either shot with a bow or a crossbow. The remains appear to have been dumped on Saturday or Sunday of Mother's Day weekend. Raccoon and fox remains were also found at the site.
