It's turkey season and we are already having problems with trespassers. With our Posse being nearly 70 volunteers and our deputies and reserves being in the woods this time our year you never know where we will be.On April 16, 2016 an off duty deputy was hunting north of Goldendale with family and friends on private property. The property being well posted. At daylight the deputy saw a white dodge truck pass by his location and within a minute the same truck came back northbound and parked along the road. The driver exited the truck and walked in the same direction as a turkey gobbling in his roost tree. The suspect later identified as Brian C. Lewis of Vancouver was armed with a shotgun.The off duty deputy went and photographed his vehicle and waited for Lewis to exit the woods. After a short wait Lewis walked back to the truck and was confronted by the off duty deputy. The deputy was able to photograph him in the field.Lewis was advised by the off duty deputy that he was trespassing. Lewis immediately said it was not what it looked like that he had seen a cougar chase down a fawn the prior night and he was there looking for the cougar that he was not turkey hunting. Lewis was dressed in full camouflage with a shotgun which is common for a turkey hunting.The investigation has been turned over to the Washington Department of Fish and Game for unlawful hunting closed season and hunting while trespassing. Lewis is currently in custody for a probation violation stemming from this incident.This is a reminder to all trespassers that you never know when law enforcement is in the woods. This is also a reminder to witnesses to take good pictures of people, license plates and vehicles.

Property that is used to violate any fishing and hunting regulations.... (P. 84 2016 Washington State Big Game Hunting Pamphlet)Hopefully they have that truck secured in the evidence yard. Maybe his "good friend" Jim has a spare hoopty he can loan him.
But I saw a cougar. ....
By God he may just have cracked open a can of legal whoopass right in his face!
