Beginning in October 2019, department wardens began by investigating a buck shot near Valley City that had its antlers removed. Within a week, another buck, also missing its antlers, was discovered in nearly the same location. No meat was removed from either carcass, both of which were left to rot.
According to Mark Pollert, warden supervisor for Game and Fish in Jamestown, more suspicious, dead deer were reported to wardens later that fall, most near the Sheyenne River Valley from Lake Ashtabula to Kathryn, N.D. In two cases, antlers had been removed from the deer in the same manner and the carcasses left to waste.
