Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife troopers are asking
for the public's help to solve the killing and waste of a 7x7 bull elk in late
February north of Gold Beach.
According to Senior Trooper Brad Van Prooyen, on February
22, 2008 at about 5:30 p.m. a 7x7 bull elk was shot and left to waste during a
closed season on Edison Creek Road about five miles north of Gold Beach. Oregon
State Police (OSP) Fish & Wildlife Division troopers from the Gold Beach
office responded to the area. Following an extensive investigation, troopers
determined that two white male adults were observed chasing the elk just after
several rifle shots were heard by a witness. An unknown make or model white van
was seen in the area.
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to
contact Senior Trooper Dan Stinnett or Senior Trooper Brad Van Prooyen.
