Turn In a Poacher

Ohio’s Turn In a Poacher, or ”TIP,” program is helping to curtail poaching throughout the state. TIP is designed to involve the public in reporting wildlife violations. Citizens who observe wildlife violations should record the information on the TIP form below, and then submit it electronically via e-mail, call the TIP toll-free hotline (1-800-POACHER), or mail the form to the address below. Please send in your TIP using just one of these methods (e-mail, phone or direct mail).

You do not have to give your name . . . just give the facts.

Please use this form to submit your TIP report online.
