MIAMI COUNTY, Kansas—Law enforcement authorities are investigating another case of alleged poaching in Kansas.

On November 15, Miami County Kansas Game Warden Falls received a call from a landowner about trespassing taking place by individuals wearing camouflage and carrying crossbows, according to a social media report from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.

Falls responded to the area and started a K-9 track from the suspect vehicles, which were parked on public property.

K-9 Indy located the hunters track and followed their trail. During the track, Indy alerted to the base of a tree near the track. Underneath branches and leaves, Indy located a blue trash bag containing what appeared to be deer meat.

K-9 Indy then continued tracking the hunters, locating them a short time later taking a deer off private property. Charges are pending for criminal hunting. A citation was issued for the untagged deer located by K-9 Indy.
