COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Wildlife officials are investigating after someone dumped the partial carcasses of three pronghorn antelope in a construction trash bin near Colorado Springs.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife department says the poached antelope were found near Torreys Peak Way in Falcon northeast of Colorado Springs on Oct. 9. Portions of the animals were missing, but much of the meat was wasted.

The Gazette reports wildlife officials hope tipsters will lead them to the poacher.
