Deer hunting reported in Moorhead, Minn. city limits

Talk about it

MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) — Moorhead police are investigating a report of deer hunting in city limits during Minnesota's firearms deer opener.

Police got a report of a deer being shot in north Moorhead about 9:15 a.m. Sunday. Witnesses standing on the Fargo, N.D., side of the Red River say two hunters shot the deer with a rifle but fled the area immediately.

Two men in their mid-20s returned to the scene about a half-hour later in a newer dark-blue smaller SUV missing the driver's side front hubcap. One man wore red and the other wore orange.

Anyone with information is asked to call Moorhead police.
