OSP seek help identifying poacher who shot deer from roadways #katu2abc #oregonnews #hunting

Oregon State Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspected poacher.

Officials say the person was hunting in the Trask Wildlife Management Unit from October 18 to 20 and again from October 25 to 27.

The suspect is believed to be associated with an older maroon sedan, possibly a Honda, with a black damaged front fender, officials said.

OSP says 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,” OSP stated.

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.
