Olson he emphasized. "The investigation is continuing and arrests will be made in this case." The conservation officer said all the dead deer that have been located were all shot from the road in what looked like target practice." He said Millard County is not alone in this regard. Deer all over southern Utah are being slaughtered in this manner, most recently a great number near Hurricane.
