Citizens Against Poaching

Idaho’s wild game is a very important natural resource for the state. Poachers, who kill game illegally, are stealing from the state’s residents. In an effort to reduce poaching a program called Citizens Against Poaching (CAP) was started as a non-profit corporation in December 1980 by concerned citizens under the guidance of Idaho Fish and Game.

Idaho’s CAP program has been very successful. CAP and the Department of Fish and Game share the responsibility for the program. Citizens, who may remain anonymous, are encouraged to report poachers.

Be part of the solution—report all poaching and wildlife violations by calling 1-800-632-5999.

The department receives and records reports of violations through a toll-free telephone number routes the information to conservation officers for investigation, and arranges for reward payments. A reward is paid if the information is sufficient for a citation or a warrant to be issued. A conviction is not necessary. Reward amounts are currently set at: $100 for birds, fish, and general violations; $250 for most big game animals; $500 for trophy species such as sheep, goat, grizzly, moose and caribou.

To report wildlife violations in Idaho, call the Citizens Against Poaching Hotline at 1-800-632-5999 .
