Headless Deer Turning up in Northeast Wis.

OCONTO, Wis. (AP) -- Conservation wardens say an increasing number of headless bucks have been found in northeastern Wisconsin.

State Department of Natural Resources warden Mike Stahl says investigators don't know why at least a half dozen bucks have been found without their heads since the last week of October.

The DNR say four were found in Oconto County's Little Suamico-Abrams area. One was found in the Town of Spruce and another in Marinette County.

Stahl tells WLUK-TV that because of various stages of decay, it's not known how all bucks were killed, however the DNR has been able to determine at least two were shot.

    I've heard of these mythical headless deer from stories the elders told but have never seen any roaming around.

    " Investigators don't know why..... " meaning.... we wasted alot of tax money because we have no idea what we are investigating. They get hit by cars and people cut off the heads to keep the antlers. The dnr wants all deer dead. Hunters, poachers, wolves, coyotes, bears, bobcats and vehicles do their job for them for free.

    seems like the state of wisconsin and the dnr could care less about poachers.
