Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 5 Enforcement responded on Sept. 2 to a report of a mule deer fawn shot with an arrow in the hindquarters and left to waste on the property of the Billings Rod and Gun Club archery range.
Warden Courtney Tyree believes the fawn was shot at least a week ago. Club staff noticed the smell of decomposition and discovered the deer, which still has the arrow protruding. The property is about a mile west of the airport.
Anyone who has information connected to this incident is encouraged to contact Warden Tyree at 406-860-7814 or ctyree@mt.gov, or visit the tipmont website at https://fwp.mt.gov/enforcement/tipmont. You may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.
