SANDY, Oregon — An extensive poaching investigation involving multiple agencies in Oregon recently resulted in a "major seizure" of guns, drugs, meat, and mounted trophy-style deer heads, reports the Oregon State Police.
With the support of the Oregon State Police and SWAT, the East Valley Fish and Wildlife Team later executed a search warrant at the suspect's home.
There, troopers claim they found mounted deer head trophies and meat from elk, deer, bear, and ducks— all of which lacked proper documentation.
Police say the suspect admitted to officers that he had killed deer illegally at the Sandy River Delta east of Portland in 2025.
OSP says additional game meat, as well as another mounted deer head, were discovered at another suspect's residence.
