Last updated on Wednesday, October 18, 2017

(UNDATED) - The Department of Natural Resources is asking residents to turn in poachers.

The number for Turn-in-a-Poacher is 1-(800) TIP-IDNR or 1-800-847-4367. Dispatchers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week

Turn in a Poacher, Inc. (TIP) is a non-profit conservation organization that protects our fish and wildlife resources by increasing public support and involvement in bringing violators to justice.

A poacher is a thief who illegally steals wildlife that belongs to each Indiana citizen. Poachers rob licensed, ethical hunters and fishermen from recreational opportunities they bought through license fees.

Call TIP if you see, hear or learn about a poacher or another fish and wildlife violation. If your "TIP" leads to an arrest, you may receive as much as a $200 reward, and you can remain anonymous.

1340 AM WBIW welcomes comments and suggestions by calling 812.277.1340 during normal business hours or by email at comments@wbiw.com
