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. All information received by the TIP program will remain confidential.

Quickly and easily report wildlife crimes the moment you see them. Please remember to provide descriptions of suspects, vehicles, or signs of the violation. Also include the county and the specific location of the violation, along with details about what happened and who was involved.

Report by Phone

You can call in reports of wildlife crimes via the TIP hotline at 1-800-POACHER (762-2437)
