The Hendry County Sheriff’s Office Agriculture Unit is seeking assistance from the public in its investigation into the illegal killing of approximately nine deer.

According to HCSO, deputies were alerted on September 30th after land managers reported discovering multiple deer carcasses on a property.

Investigators have since reviewed surveillance footage and processed evidence, but leads have been exhausted.

Game cameras on the property captured photos of the suspects, and authorities are now asking for help in identifying those involved.

The investigation remains active, with officers continuing to examine surveillance footage and follow up on tips.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office at 863-674-5600 and ask to speak with an Agriculture Deputy. To remain anonymous and potentially earn a reward, individuals can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477).
