Sweet Home, OR – Oregon State Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two men allegedly involved in the unlawful killing of an antlerless deer and trespassing near Sweet Home earlier this month.
According to the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division, troopers responded on Dec. 10, 2025, to a report of a hunter dragging a deer on private property near Scott Mountain Road. Investigators reviewed trail camera footage that showed two male subjects dragging the deer through the wooded area.
Authorities say the incident is being treated as both a poaching case and a trespassing investigation. The suspects reportedly entered private property without permission before removing the animal.
OSP is urging anyone who can help identify the individuals to contact the Turn In Poachers (TIP) line at 1-800-452-7888, dial **OSP (677) from a mobile phone, or email. Callers are asked to reference case number SP25-495415.
Wildlife officials emphasize that unlawful take of wildlife threatens Oregon’s conservation efforts and ask hunters to respect private land boundaries and state hunting laws.
