Poachers are harmful to conservation efforts and that's why Indiana Conservation Officers are encouraging people to utilize the Turn In a Poacher, Inc. (TIP) program and help stop poaching. TIP is a nonprofit conservation organization that protects fish and wildlife resources by increasing public support and involvement in bringing violators to justice. DNR defines a poacher as "a thief who illegally steals wildlife that belongs to each Indiana citizen." If you are aware of any potential violations, you're urged to report by calling 1-800-TIP-IDNR or tip.IN.gov. If the information given to TIP leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a $500 reward all while remaining anonymous.
