MADISON COUNTY, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — With deer hunting season in Arkansas well underway, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is asking for help as it searches for information in what it’s calling a “senseless slaughter.”
The photo below has been blurred because of its graphic nature and some viewers may still find it disturbing.
The post from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office shows four deer carcasses dumped along Madison 6351 in Wesley with large amounts of meat still remaining. It said true sportsmen rely on that meat to feed their families.
Anyone with information is asked to contact AGFC at 1-833-356-0824 or you can reach out to them by texting a tip at 847411.
AGFC says that if someone is found dumping a large animal, such as a deer, or even not disposing of it properly, they could face a fine of up to $1,000. Poaching of an animal could lead to a fine of up to $5,000.
Both charges could come with jail time if convicted.
