Game Wardens Allen Couch (Haskell Co.) and J.D. Stauffer (Haskell Co.) were patrolling on the night of November 23, 2014. The wardens heard several gun shots nearby, and quickly located a vehicle driving slowly through the rural area. Couch and Stauffer followed the vehicle to a nearby residence and observed blood on the tailgate and bumper of the vehicle. The resulting investigation discovered two suspects, three loaded rifles, one loaded pistol. two powerful lights, and six dead deer (five does and one young buck). The deer were so recently killed, one deer was still kicking. Numerous alleged violations were documented and charges are pending, including: Headlighting/spotlighting, hunting with the aid of motor vehicle, no hunting licenses, and unlawful possession of wildlife not legally taken. The meat from all six deer were donated to needy families in Haskell County. Great job by both wardens!
