The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division is asking for help to identify a suspected poacher.
The suspected poacher was hunting in the Trask Wildlife Management Unit (Yamhill County) from Oct. 18-20 and again from Oct. 25-27. The male suspect is believed to be associated with an older maroon sedan, possibly a Honda, with a black damaged front fender.
The suspect shot numerous doe deer with a high-powered rifle from the roadway on private property. On one occasion, the suspect shot a doe from a residential front yard before fleeing the area. He returned after dark and recovered the deer carcass, ignoring posted “No Trespass” signs.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact OSP dispatch at 800-452-7888, OSP (677) on a mobile device, or by email at TIP@osp.oregon.gov. Please reference case number # SP24349341.
