(Update: Bend chapter also donates $500 to reward)
All three likely shot on Oct. 28, opening day of bull elk season
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Hunters have offered up $2,500 in additional reward money for information regarding three elk poached in late October east of Sisters. The reward now stands at $3,000 for information leading to a citation related to the bull, cow and spike elk carcasses left to waste.
Oregon Hunters Association chapters bolstered the standard reward, which for an elk is $500 or four hunter preference points. The Redmond chapter contributed $1,000 and the Capital, Bend and Josephine chapters each contributed $500, to bring the new total to $3,000. Preference points for information leading to a citation remain at four.
