This investigation began when Game Wardens received an anonymous report stating at a specific location just west of Balta that they had noticed quite a few dead deer around and it looked somewhat strange. Game Wardens drove by the area and found multiple dead deer carcasses in the area. A person of interest was located at this time working in the farmyard. Upon interviewing the individual about all of the carcasses that were scattered across the yard this individual, Daryl Klein, was found to be the suspect in shooting these animals.It was determined that the shooting of the deer had been going on for some time based on the different stages of decomposition / scavenging of carcasses that were found. Wardens investigated the area and found deer that had died up to one half mile away with bullet wounds in them. Wardens picked up 29 carcasses around the farmstead and dispatched multiple deer that were wounded in the surrounding tree rows. All deer were brought to NDGF Laboratory in Bismarck for necropsies.</blockquote>
