Warden Looking to Solve Poaching Incidents

by NDGFD


North Dakota Game and Fish Department district game warden Keenan Snyder is seeking information on several illegal-taking-of-wildlife incidents in recent weeks in the Williston and Watford City areas.

Anyone with information on the following incidents is asked to call the Report All Poachers telephone number at 800-472-2121, or contact Snyder at 701-770-1072. RAP is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any of these individuals. Incidents earlier this fall involved the following:

A headless whitetail buck was found at Demicks Lake;

A mule deer doe shot and left on an approach at Tobacco Gardens along N.D. Highway 1806;

Pronghorn buck shot and left at the Demick’s Lake area. Reporting individuals stated the poachers were driving a lifted four-door red Chevrolet pickup with no rear license plate

A 5x5 whitetail buck shot and left at Ochs Wildlife Management Area southwest of Williston;

Three mule deer does shot and left approximately 8 miles north of Watford City. One had the hind quarters and backstraps removed, another had the backstraps removed and one was left intact.

The RAP line offers rewards for information that leads to conviction of fish and wildlife law violators. Reporting parties can remain anonymous.
