Oregon Busts Poachers

Ryan Hagerty/Public Domain

Hunters are getting fewer and farther between, according to reports from Oregon in the last few years. 

But there are still hunters out there who don't want to follow the rules.  Poaching and other crimes still provide plenty of work for the Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Division

And they keep one Linn County Deputy D.A. so busy, he won an award as the Oregon Wildlife Prosecutor of the Year.  Deputy D.A. Keith Stein visits with details of his work; Lt. Casey Thomas of OSP joins the conversation.
