NORTON COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects for alleged hunting violations.

Game wardens encountered two individuals hunting for turkey in Norton County, according to a social media report from Kansas Dept. of Wildlife and Parks Game Wardens. 

Upon noticing the game wardens, one individual attempted to fill out a Nebraska turkey tag for a turkey they previously killed in Kansas. The wardens seized three turkeys in connection with violations in Kansas and Nebraska. Charges are pending.
