EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police who responded to a pickup truck crash off a road near Noti found a dead deer underneath the vehicle.
The Register-Guard reports an investigation determined two Elmira men driving on IP Deeded Road Sept. 15 shot the deer, which fell down an embankment. The men were backing the truck to the road’s edge to retrieve the deer when the pickup rolled on top of the animal and into a tree.
Once the pickup was towed, a trooper noticed the deer had been shot. One man was cited for taking a deer out of season and the other for aiding in a wildlife violation.
