Two hunters have been cited for illegally hunting at Lake Manawa after fishermen reported hearing gunshots on Saturday.
Sein Ram, 37, and a minor, have been charged with hunting by artificial light, hunting without a non-resident hunting license and illegal attempt to take game.
During a traffic stop near Lake Manawa, the hunters told the rangers they were hunting rabbits with a flashlight from their car.
A rifle, ammo and a flashlight were seized from the traffic stop. While investigating the scene, a dead deer was found with multiple gunshot wounds, with a blood trail showing rangers it had been shot from the roadway.
Rangers charged Ram for failing to have a non-resident antlerless deer license, abandonment of dead or injured wildlife, illegal method of take, shooting a firearm over a roadway and trespassing.
The minor received fines of $450. Ram received fines of $3,808.
