Sgt. Tom Hamann told the Oregonian that investigators are not yet jumping to conclusions about how the severed heads ended up near the signs but are actively probing the matter.

Were talking to neighbors, and were looking for video, Hamann said. Theres no note. Theres nothing written with it. We dont want to make assumptions. Were trying to look into it and determine who did it and why.

There are hunters in town, and it is deer hunting season, the officer added. They will often dispose of the deer heads after cleaning out the animals. Maybe someone disposed of it improperly and an animal got a hold of it.

Peggy Lant, who had one of the deer heads found near her home, said she was told by police about the incident and that she and her family felt like they had been really violated.

I felt like I had been physically attacked. I felt like my safety was gone. I felt like my dignity was gone and my children were in danger, Lant, who has two daughters, told the newspaper.

Police are asking anyone with information about the severed heads to contact them.
