BEND, OR -- A Bend man faces criminal charges after a trophy class 205" mule deer was killed under what investigators are calling suspicious circumstances.  The deer was found dead over the weekend in the Metolius Wildlife Management Unit.  54-year old Danny Davidson later provided a full confession to the illegal harvest of the buck deer. 

Davidson was lodged at the Deschutes County Jail on charges of the illegal take of the buck deer and hunting on the enclosed lands of another.
