Poaching

Wyoming game wardens are investigating recent poaching in northern Wyoming.

According to a Wyoming Game and Fish statement, Grove was convicted in 2018 for illegally taking a grizzly bear north of Dubois in 2015.

Robertson said he thought the doe was exhausted and stressed, so he held its head under the water until it drowned.

Each of them admitted to shooting the lion and taking the carcass back to their vehicle.

Cosby reportedly lied to investigators about the area in which he took the elk.

The carcass and remaining edible portions were thrown over a guardrail and abandoned.

Tips can also be submitted to the STOP POACHING hotline at 1-877-943-3847.

The pair were initially charged with five counts including hunting while intoxicated.

Anyone with information on the incidents can call the Stop Poaching Hotline at 1-877-943-3847.

Anyone with any information that might help investigators -- including information on suspicious vehicles, people or activities near the area -- are asked to call the STOP POACHING hotline at 1-877-WGFD-TIP.
