ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) — The discovery of dead elk in rural Clatsop County has led to charges against four Astoria High School students.
State police say the boys went hunting during a camping trip in early April, killing four elk and leaving much of the meat to waste.

Two other 16-year-olds are accused of aiding a wildlife offense by taking elk during the closed season.
