ST. ALBANS (AP) — Wildlife officials are investigating a poaching incident in central Maine.
The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife says poachers killed at least two deer Monday night in St. Albans, leaving one to rot and dragging the other out of a field and taking it away.
Spokesman Doug Rafferty told the Bangor Daily News the deer are thought to have been killed between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., well after legal hunting hours.
He said one of the deer was found dead and that drag marks and a bloody trail showed the path where the other animal had apparently been dragged out of the field.
