Headless, Wasted White-tailed Deer Found in Saco Dump, Wardens Seeking Information

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 6 game wardens are seeking any information regarding a headless white-tailed buck that was recently left at the Saco dump about two miles south of Saco off the Larb Creek Rd.

On the afternoon of Dec. 6, Malta-area warden Ben Morin responded to a TIP-MONT call about a headless deer left at the dump. Morin located the deer and found it gutted and headless. The deer was unable to be salvaged.

Anyone with information about the crime is encouraged to call Morin at 406-654-7630, or call FWP’s 24-hour wildlife tip line at 1-800-TIP-MONT (1-800-847-6668).

The 1-800-TIP-MONT program is a toll-free number where one can report violations of fish, wildlife or park regulations. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000 for providing information that leads to a conviction.
