Senate Bill 372 will
be seen by the House this
week and be one step clos-
er to becoming law. The bill
would allow Oregonians to butcher and consume any elk or
deer struck accidentally by a vehicle as long as the driver re-
ports the claim to Oregon Fish and Wildlife within 24 hours.
The bill would also allow drivers to shoot a deer or elk that
was struck by a vehicle and subsequently injured. The bill, if
passed, would not take effect until 2019.

peach the sitting governor.
