N.D. man faces charges in shooting of 17 deer

A rural Bismarck man faces charges after authorities say 17 dead deer were found around his property.

BISMARCK (AP) — A rural Bismarck man faces charges after authorities say 17 dead deer were found around his property.

Sixty-eight-year-old William Dethloff was charged with 17 counts pertaining to shooting of deer and harboring their carcasses.

Court documents said a Game and Fish investigator found the dead deer — all shot — in February. Some of the carcasses were in plain sight; others were buried in the snow.

In 1997, Dethloff was ordered to forfeit his hunting privileges for 18 months for hunting without a license.

A call to a number listed for Dethloff rang unanswered on Friday.
