Stop Washington Poachers!
To report poaching in progress, dial 9-1-1. Individuals that witness and would like to anonymously report a fish or wildlife violation can call toll free 1-877-933-9847 (1-877-WDFW-TIP). Remember this is not an information hotline. Other reporting tools are available on the WDFW poaching prevention page.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife pays rewards for information that leads to a conviction of people violating wildlife laws.
The Washington Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation will pay $250.00 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals responsible for illegal take of wild turkeys.
