Conservation Agent Mark Henry recently concluded an investigation about a white-tail buck taken out of season, two tree stands stolen from private property and property damage to a fence.

According to the Missouri Department of Conservation, information led Cpl. Henry to some individuals, and he was able to recover each tree stand and return them to the owner.

Two suspects are now facing several charges- including stealing, property damage, take deer in closed season and possession of illegal deer.

One of the suspects also was arrested on outstanding warrants.

If you have information about a wildlife poaching issue, MDC officials urge you to contact your local agent or call Operation Game Thief at (800) 392-1111.
