A Williams Lake area resident alerted conservation officers the doe was bedded down in her backyard
A deer near Williams Lake is moving more freely after a bolt from a crossbow was removed from her back by the BC Conservation Officer Service on Wednesday, July 10.
On Wednesday, July 10, a resident notified the COS about the deer bedding down in her backyard in the shade and they were able to successfully attend the property and help the deer. He said they monitored the doe for a bit after the bolt was removed until she was able to stand up and take off. "It was in as far as half the length of the bolt, but shot at a sharp angle in the upper back so it did not do a ton of damage on any of the organs which was lucky for the deer.
Pauls said they do not have any leads on the incident, but because it happened more than four weeks ago it was a time when there was no-hunting season open for deer.
