OSP Investigating Two Unlawful Takings Of Deer

The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division is asking for the public’s assistance to identify those responsible for the unlawful taking of two buck deer in two separate incidents last week in the White River Unit of the Mount Hood National Forest.  The first occurred on Badger Creek Rd, just above Tygh Valley near the White River Wildlife Area boundary.  An Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife employee located the deer, just off the road, with some meat taken and the head removed.  OSP responded and determined the buck deer was shot and whoever was involved attempted to conceal it by dragging the deer away from the roadway and placing it behind a large rock.  The second was on Forest Service Road 1700 on the 660 spur near Gibson Prairie east of Parkdale.  A citizen driving in the woods located a dead deer about 50 yards off the road and reported it to an OSP Fish and Wildlife trooper who determined the forked horn buck deer was shot and left to waste.  Anyone with information regarding either case is urged to contact the OSP through the Turn in Poachers (TIP) hotline at 1-800-452-7888 or *OSP (mobile).
