A trail camera caught the action as two men illegally shot a deer from a vehicle and public road Friday, November 11 in Lincoln County. Photos released by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation show two men in a black, four-door Chevy Silverado pickup.

The older of the men - a passenger in the truck - can be seen taking aim through the window. Other photos taken from surveillance video show the men crossing the fence to get the dead deer and drag it back to their truck.

The poaching took place northwest of Prague Lake near 3513 Road and 1021 Road in Lincoln County, authorities said.

If you have information that can help game wardens catch these poachers, call Oklahoma Game Warden Gary Emmons at 405-240-1870 or Operation Game Thief at 1-800-522-8039.
