A 68-year-old Wallowa man was arrested after state fish and wildlife troopers discovered more than two dozen elk carcasses in and around his Northeast Oregon property.
Larry Harshfield was taken into custody April 8 and charged with illegally killing a dozen elk on his property. Oregon State Police said there was no indication any effort was made to salvage the meat. An "extensive investigation" from wildlife enforcement troopers determined the Wallowa man allegedly killed 13 more elk on an adjacent property. .........................
But unlike other high-profile poaching incidents, such as the Facebook post that led to the arrest of two Dallas men on accusations of killing bull elk, Harshfield's case involved wildlife disputes on his own property. That's prompted some landowners to fight back.
