OSP Seeks Information On Unlawful Elk Killing

The Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Division is asking for the public’s help to identify whoever was responsible for the unlawful killing of a trophy bull elk in Hood River County.   The OSP was notified on September 15 that a bull elk was found dead on private property on the west side of the Hood River Valley off of Riordan Hill Road. A trooper found the 6×7 bull elk dead and left to waste in a cherry orchard.  The cause of death is most likely by a gunshot wound during the 2016 archery season.  A reward of $2,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case:  $500 from the Oregon Hunters Association Turn-In-Poacher program and $1500 from the landowner.  Anyone with the information regarding the case is asked to contact the OSP through the Turn-in-Poachers (TIP) hotline at 1-800-452-7888.  Information may be kept anonymous.
