Eugene, OR – ODFW officials said that if anyone has information that leads to an arrest or citation in either case may receive rewards of $1,000 or four hunter preference points.

On Jan. 6, Fish and Wildlife troopers received a report of three dead cow elk located on private property in the Columbia Basin Unit in Umatilla County.

The carcasses were near Cold Springs Reservoir and Kosmos Road. All three cows had been shot the night before and left to waste.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Oregon State Police Dispatch at 1-800-452-7888, *OSP (*677), or email at [email protected]. Reference case number SP24006650.

On Jan. 8, Fish and Wildlife troopers from the Newport office responded to a report of a bull elk shot and killed in a clearing near milepost 4 on Harlan Road.

They located the carcass approximately 100 yards from a Weyerhaeuser gate above Harlan Road. Evidence indicates the bull elk was illegally shot the previous night.

The poacher or poachers removed two hindquarters from the carcass, leaving most of the meat to waste.
