Reward of $15,000 offered in bighorn sheep poaching case in Oregon

SALEM, Ore. (AP)-- The Oregon Hunters Association is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to the arrest of a bighorn sheep poacher. The Oregon State Police say three rams were killed in Gilliam County in Eastern Oregon last month.

The Statesman-Journal reports (https://is.gd/dyT6NG ) the hunting group runs a ``turn in poachers'' program that annually pays more than $13,000 to informants in poaching cases.

The bighorn sheep were killed and left to waste along Interstate 84 east of Rufus, Oregon on April 10.
