The Colorado Division of Wildlife is asking for help solving a poaching crime northeast of Colorado Springs in the Black Forest. Wildlife officers found two antelope killed along Volmer Road. The shooting took place late Friday September 29 or early Saturday September 30.
Anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity, or has information about the case, is asked to contact Officer Albert Romero at 227-5287. Or they can call a toll-free poaching tip line 1-877-265-6648.
“Anyone who comes forward with information is eligible for a cash reward from the Division of Wildlife’s Operation Game Thief fund,” said Romero. He hopes that a passing motorist may have witnessed the shooting.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife urges people to call their local wildlife office whenever they have information about illegal hunting or fishing activities. Callers may remain anonymous, and Operation Game Thief offers rewards if information leads to someone being issued a citation. People who turn in poachers are eligible for preference points or a free hunting license for a future season.
