Two does were shot and dumped on FCR 196 off of FM 416 on Saturday, November 28, 2020.

They look like it was possible that someone had put tags on them, then removed them after realizing it was out of antlerless season.

Then, they were dumped on the side of the road, if you have any information contact Game Wardens Shawna Poole or David McMillen.
