Grants Pass man cited in killing of trophy-class Blacktail deer

Oregon State Police
"Goliath" grazes near Grants Pass-area home.
A Grants Pass man is facing wildlife charges in the killing of a trophy-class Blacktail deer buck last November.

The 6x8 point deer, known as Goliath, had roamed and grazed in the backyards of local residents near Grants Pass for about five years before he was illegally killed by an archer around November 15, 2008.

Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife Division launched an investigation after an anonymous tipster reported that the deer's antlers were at a local taxidermist shop.

The antlers pointed police to John Joseph Costello, 54, of Grants Pass, who was cited Monday in Josephine County Circuit Court for the unlawful taking of a Blacktail deer, unlawful hunting by a prohibited method and for not having a valid deer tag.

OSP Senior Trooper Brad Bennett asks tipsters to phone in additional information to assist in the investigation at (541) 955-6374.

One more reason to not feed.  Acclimating big, meaty animals to humans, especially if they have exceptional trophy quality, just makes the poacher's goal easy to attain.  Wildlife should be kept wild.  This happens over, and over, and over, everywhere people feed deer and elk.
