ALBUQUERQUE \u2013 A suspect has been arrested in the shooting of a bear with a bow and arrow near Taos, New Mexico, in October.<\/p>\n

The Albuquerque Journal <\/em>reported<\/a> Friday a man was charged in Taos Magistrate Court with unlawful killing of big game by shooting from the road and failing to tag the bear, both misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish said last month it was investigating the Oct. 29 incident in Arroyo Seco.<\/p>\n

Bears are a protected species in New Mexico, but bear hunting was allowed in that area at the time of killing, officials said previously.<\/p>\n

But the newspaper reported that court documents say a Taos area man shot the bear in a tree with a bow and arrow, then shot it a second time after a bystander told him to \u201cshoot it again\u201d so it wouldn\u2019t suffer.<\/p>\n

The man then \u201cleft the area where the bear was killed and made no attempt to retrieve the bear,\u201d authorities allege.<\/p>\n

The next day the Taos Volunteer Fire Department removed the bear from the tree with a ladder truck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
