The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department are seeking information in the poisoning deaths of a golden eagle and ravens in the area southwest of Wamsutter, west of the Eureka Headquarters, in Sweetwater County. Investigating officers responded to the area in March of 2016 and recovered the bodies of one poisoned golden eagle and four poisoned ravens, which were all dead when found, along with poison-laced baits. The perpetrator(s) of this crime appear to have been targeting native predators, including eagles and coyotes. However, a search of the area revealed no dead coyotes. A similar case is under investigation near Dubois where in addition to a bald eagle, a golden eagle and other wildlife, three pet dogs have died from the poisonings early this month. The Service is offering a monetary reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the successful arrest and conviction of the person(s) associated with the Wamsutter case, and up to $7000 in the Dubois case.
