The Colorado Division of Wildlife is seeking information that might help solve a poaching incident on the south end of the Uncompahgre Plateau in Game Management Unit 61 west of Montrose.
Sometime around Sept. 20 an unknown party shot a large mule deer buck, removed the head, and left the carcass to rot. The buck was shot with a high-powered rifle near the intersection of Dave Wood Road and Divide Road.
The animal was killed during archery season and several bow hunters were in the area at the time.
