The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says over one-thousand tips were received in 2024 as part of its “Turn in a Poacher” program.
If you know someone who is illegally stealing wildlife, known as poaching, report potential violations at 1-800-TIP-IDNR or tip.IN.gov.
If your “TIP” leads to an arrest, you may receive as much as a $500 reward, or you can remain anonymous if you choose.
In 2024, TIP received nearly 1,025 tips and paid thousands of dollars in rewards for tips that led to the arrest of a suspect.
