PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — After a buck deer was unlawfully shot and killed on a private property in Clackamas County, officials are seeking public assistance in identifying a suspect.

Oregon State Police’s Fish & Wildlife division says the buck was killed on a property near the intersection of South Hult Road. and South Olson Road.

“The buck deer was loaded onto a camouflage sled and concealed under a tree. A dark-colored 4×4 pickup truck with a canopy (possibly a Toyota Tundra) was in the area at the time of the illegal kill. The buck deer was able to be salvaged and was donated to charity,” OSP said in a release.
