| March 13, 2025 1:00 AM

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking information regarding the illegal killing of two trumpeter swans and three mule deer in southeast Idaho during the last week of December 2024.

A member of the public found the dead trumpeter swans floating in the Bear River downstream from the old cheese factory in Thatcher. A second individual reported three dead deer (two adult does and a doe fawn), shot and left to waste near Gentile Valley Road approximately 5 miles north of where the swans were discovered.
