Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking for help to identify a suspect in a poaching incident of a buck mule deer about one mile west of Sedalia. Around noon on Sunday, Nov. 17, a witness heard a gunshot and observed a man who had trespassed onto private property near Highway 105 and Highway 67. After the suspect left the area, the witness noticed an abandoned deer carcass. The man did not have permission from the landowner to hunt on the property, which is required by law.
The suspect is a white man in his 20s, about 6 feet tall with a medium build driving a gray Chevy truck. The truck has an extended cab with possible out-of-state license plates. The truck has a sticker in the lower corner of the back window on the driver’s side. There is a black toolbox with a red logo in the center of the bed of the truck. The front bumper appears to be black and may be an aftermarket bumper.
Anyone with information on the suspect or the truck is encouraged to call CPW at 303-291-7227. Callers can remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward if charges are filed by calling Operation Game Thief at 1-877-COLO-OGT.
