Whitetail deer poached at Potato Creek State Park

ndiana Conservation Officers are asking for information regarding the illegal shooting of a whitetail deer at Potato Creek State Park.

The deer was shot sometime between Sunday night and 10:00 a.m. Monday morning.

Department of Natural Resource State Park employees discovered the deer on park property south of New Road, between Redwood and Primrose.
