North Dakota Game and Fish Department enforcement officials are looking for information pertaining to a dead whitetail buck found southeast of Bismarck.

A landowner discovered the buck in the ditch on the morning of Nov. 30 off Lincoln Road near 249th St. SE. Upon investigation, Department game wardens determined the buck had been shot and was likely killed the evening of Nov. 29 or the early morning hours the following day.

North Dakota’s deer gun season closed Nov. 23.

Evidence at the scene indicated the deer was likely shot in another location and dumped at the Lincoln Road site.
