Turn in Poachers (TIP)

Statewide toll-free: 1-800-652-9093

24 hours a day, 365 days a year

Turn In Poachers, TIP Inc., is a private, non-profit organization of conservationists concerned about poaching problems. TIP Inc., provides all reward monies for the program. The division cooperates with the TIP program, which was instigated to encourage the public to report natural resource violations. The information and the person reporting can be kept confidential. Persons reporting violations are asked to obtain as much information from observation as possible, and to report all violations as soon as possible. If an arrest is initiated, the person reporting the violation may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000, depending upon the seriousness of the crime. The reward amount will be determined by an impartial panel. Since its inception in 1981, this program has been a deterrent to the senseless waste of wildlife and is extremely beneficial to the DNR Enforcement Division.

You ARE your brothers keeper. We all have a responsibility to protect our shared natural resources.

Good luck.

Be safe.

Kick the jerks out of the woods.

the #TIP only works on certain networks. I have T-mobile and it doesn't work for me.

i have never used it before

[Chuby Minnow]

I have found TIP to not work at all even if you do get through to them based on past experiences.

It does work so I appreciate your comment chuby minnow, but put something out there that more or less aims to discourage people from using the number.

I'm not sure your experience, but sometimes the info you provide can't do anything for the situation. I tried it once and my info couldn't help because it was too late.

911 doesn't always fix a situation, but we should all still use it when needed. Same goes for TIP.
