A private organization working with the Maine Warden Service is offering a $3,000 reward for information on the illegal shooting and wounding of a deer in Swanville. The injured deer ultimately had to be euthanized after it was found and reported to the Maine Warden Service on Tuesday, March 4. It had been shot once through the back legs and a second time through the bottom of its chest, then left to die. Operation Game Thief can be reached at 1-800-ALERT-US. Information can also be shared by submitting a tip online using the Maine OGT app “Tip 411” or through the website at www.maineogt.org.
