Wounded deer keep appearing in the Klamath area
File photo. By Associated PressKLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) - Deer with arrows in their bodies have become common near the line between Klamath County, where hunting is permitted, and the city of Klamath Falls, where it is not. City police on Sunday euthanized a deer with an arrow in its hindquarter, the third such incident in a week near Upper Klamath Lake. Area resident Megan Ericks said one deer died after an arrow struck it in the gut and that two others have been seen wounded in the area. Another shot in September was treated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Bow hunting season for most of Oregon ended in September. Police say prosecution is difficult if out-of-season hunting cannot be proved because there is no law against being a bad shot. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. |
