OSP Looking For Yamhill County Poacher

The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division is asking for your help identifying a suspected poacher. Investigators say the suspect was hunting in Yamhill County's Trask Wildlife Management Unit from October 18th-20th and again from October 25th-27th. The male suspect is believed to be associated with an older maroon sedan, possibly a Honda, with a black damaged front fender.

OSP said the suspect shot numerous doe deer with a high-powered rifle from the roadway on private property. And on one occasion, the suspect shot a doe from a residential front yard before fleeing the area. Investigators add the suspect returned after dark and recovered the deer carcass, ignoring posted “No Trespass” signs.
