COOLIDGE, AZ - A $1,250 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in connection with the killing of a pregnant mule deer doe.Arizona Game and Fish Department's Operation Game Thief program, which is offering the reward, says the deer was found Sunday near the Coolidge Airport.
The doe was shot twice with a small caliber firearm between 4:30 a.m. and 7:20 a.m. on the southeast side of the airport.
"Poachers are not hunters. They are thieves who steal wildlife from the citizens of Arizona," said Acting Regional Supervisor Brad Fulk of Game and Fish in Tucson. "Killing a doe is always illegal in Arizona, and that this one was close to giving birth and left to waste makes the case especially tragic."
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Operation Game Thief at 800-352-0700, anonymously if need be and reference OGT #13-001986. Calls are accepted 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week.
