Oklahoma Wardens Looking for Leads in Eagle Poaching Case

Help authorities find who poached this bald eagle and you could earn a reward.

The Oklahoma Game Wardens are working an eagle poaching case and they need the help of the public. Warden Brandon Lehrman found the dead eagle, a juvenile, in a wheat field in Greer County. Upon closer examination, he found the eagle had two holes from a rifle in it.

One of the shots went through the eagle's wing. The other went through its chest.

The eagle was found ¼ of a mile south of the intersection of E1430 and N2040 in an area south of Granite. Wardens posted photos of the eagle as it was found on their Facebook page.
