Suspect Identified in Wanton Waste of Game Fish

 

Sheridan¾Due to a Wyoming Game and Fish Department news release sent out to over 8,800 individuals interested in wildlife, conservation groups and media outlets, the person responsible for the wanton waste of game fish in Campbell County has been identified.

 

South Gillette Game Warden Dustin Kirsch said, “We sent out the news release about 3:00PM on Tuesday, June 9 and within a couple of hours the individual responsible for dumping the fish called me and turned himself in.”

 

Warden Kirsch was notified on Monday June 8, 2015 that about 400 fish, mostly crappie, had been dumped east of the Collins Heights subdivision near Gillette. Warden Kirsch continued, “I would really like to thank the sporting public for providing tips and information on this case.”

 

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department encourages the public to contact the STOP POACHING hotline at 1-877-WGFD-TIP (1-877-943-3847), their local game warden or any Game and Fish Office if they have information on a poaching incident or any other illegal wildlife related activity. Callers can remain anonymous.
