ENTERPRISE — A Pendleton man has been accused of two hunting violations in Wallowa County that occurred more than two years ago, according to official records.

Todd Dean Longgood, 47, was cited by Oregon State Police Sunday, Aug. 13, for allegedly using dogs to unlawfully take a big-game animal — a bighorn sheep — in the Bear Creek area of the Minam Unit on or about Aug. 23, 2021. The second count alleges that he counseled, aided or shared in wasting edible portions of the sheep.

The citation says the two counts are joined because they were committed by the same person and are of the same or similar character.

The citation did not indicate whether Longgood had a valid tag for the sheep.

A plea hearing is set for Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. in Wallowa County Circuit Court in Enterprise. Longgood is expected to be required to be present so he can be fingerprinted, according to the citation.

Wallowa County District Attorney Rebecca Frolander was unavailable for comment, and Longgood’s attorney, J. Robert Moon Jr., of Baker City, declined to comment.
