An investigation into alleged poaching in northwest Kansas is ending with charges being filed.

According to the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism, throughout the summer Region 1 Game Wardens worked on an investigation in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Game Wardens. Antlers were seized as evidence.
