Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) game wardens are seeking information about a deer that was shot in Ennis over the weekend.

According to a press release, an FWP warden and wildlife veterinarian investigated a report of a mule deer buck that survived being shot with an arrow; they located the deer on Sunday, Nov. 5 near Moore’s Creek Court on the south side of Ennis. They removed the arrow after sedating the deer.
