Detail Incident Report <br />just past the irrigation structure at coordinates, N 47.09439, -120.70540. I <br />was met at the deer by, Scott Gress, who I know has been associated with the <br />Springwood Ranch for many years. I asked him about the area and he confirmed <br />that where we were at was indeed Springwood property and Westside Irrigation had <br />an easement for their canal and canal road. <br />Mr. Cole showed me where he he had entered the property, where he had been <br />sitting when he took his first shot at the deer, and where he had finally killed <br />the deer. <br />I spoke with Mr. Cole about the land he had used to access this hunting spot. <br />Mr. Cole mentioned that he didn't know who owned the land. He also mentioned <br />seeing another hunter while walking into the area in a tree stand. He said this <br />hunter had told him he had obtained permission to hunt. Mr. Cole did say he <br />thought that particular land was different than where he had hunted. <br />Based on the area, the fact that he walked along the railroad tracks, crossed <br />obvious farm/pasture property, walked on a canal road, I believe Mr. Cole should <br />have known he was trespassing, even if he claimed he did not know. <br />With the help of a Wildlife agent, the deer was given to someone in Ellensburg <br />who works with the WDFW and takes care of animals left in these types of <br />situations and facilitates getting them to the mission in Yakima. <br />I request this case be forwarded to the Prosecutor's office for charging. <br />I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the State of <br />Washington, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my <br />knowledge. <br />Signed at Ellensburg, Washington this 27th day of <br />Ellensburg 2015. <br />Deputy Name: Zach Green <br />Badge number: 23 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />rplwdir.x3 10/17/17 <br />
