An 8-point deer was illegally killed in Susquehanna County, the Pennsylvania Game Commission said.

In a post on Facebook on Wednesday, the Game Commission's Operation Game Thief said an 8-point white-tailed deer was found dead near the intersection of Wolf Lake and Richardson roads in Harford Township on the night of Nov. 21.

Investigators said the white-tailed deer was most likely killed from the road with a crossbow at close range around midnight. The animal was left to waste, the Facebook post said. No other information was released on Wednesday by the Game Commission.
