Agents investigated the case after receiving information from the Montgomery Chief of Police who found a dead deer in a pasture behind a home where he was investigating a report of a stolen gun.
Agents arrived on the scene and collected a nine-point buck. Agents then interviewed two Grant Parish men who were implicated on the stolen gun report.

During the interviews both men admitted to seeing the deer around 12:30 a.m. on August 11. They went to get a gun then drove around to find that the deer had moved from the field and into the woods.
Once the deer was spotted in the woods, they shot and dropped the deer with a rimfire .22 magnum. They then ran to the deer and shot it again at close range.

The men dragged the deer to the open field where it was spotted the next day by the Chief of Police.
