The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is investigating the shooting of two deer on a road in Hastings County earlier this month.

On Nov. 13, conservation officers were notified of a deer that had been shot on private property near the hamlet of Coe Hill, about 92 kilometres north of Peterborough.

Officers attended on Nov. 14 and determined that two deer wandering on private property had been shot by someone on the side of Lower Faraday Road.

The investigation also determined that two individuals then dragged the deer back to the road, loaded them into a vehicle and drove north.
