ST PAUL, Minn. — A conservation officer is investigating after a timber wolf was recently found dead and more than dozen ducks were found dumped along the road about 30 miles apart in central Minnesota.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said the timber wolf was found shot to death in Buckman, Minnesota. According to state law, it's illegal for anyone to hunt or trap wolves in the state. The ducks were found dumped near the side of a road in Little Falls, Minnesota. It's unclear if the two incidents are related.
"This behavior is not only illegal, it's also unethical and gives all hunters a bad name," said a post on the Minnesota DNR Enforcement's Facebook page Monday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Turn in Packers hotline at 800-652-9093 or by using the MNTip app. Anonymous tips can also be submitted on the Minnesota DNR's website.
