West Kelowna RCMP and local conservation officers are looking for the public’s assistance to identify and locate an illegal hunter. In the early hours of October 7, 2019, a West Kelowna RCMP member was patrolling an area near Trepanier Road (near the overpass) and observed a large pooling of blood on the road. He then noted drag marks and followed them to an area where an SKS rifle with a camo sling was located lying in the grass. The killing occurred within the legal range to the highway and after daylight hours, most likely between 1:45 and 2:45 a.m. The deer taken is mostly likely a male mule deer. If you can help to identify the owner of this rifle, please contact West Kelowna RCMP or remain anonymous and contact Crime Stoppers.
