HAGERMAN, Idaho — On October 19, Idaho Fish and Game conservation officers received a report of two wasted mule deer off of Crows Nest Road, near Hagerman. The wasted deer were found within Game Management Unit 46 in Twin Falls County.

Evidence collected from the carcasses leads officers to believe both deer were shot and then transported and dumped at the location on Crows Nest Road.

Edible portions of both deer were left to waste and the antlers were removed from the buck.
