Game and Fish ask public to be a good witness 

Unfortunately, poaching happens. And according to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, the Stop Poaching program works because people truly care about Wyoming’s wildlife resources.

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Game and Fish Public Information Specialist Christina Schmidt wanted to ensure that responsible hunters or members of the public are safe when taking measures to protect those natural resources by giving tips on how to report a violation they witness in the field.

The Game and Fish report each year, hundreds of animals are taken illegally in Wyoming, and without tips from concerned members of the public, many of these crimes would go undetected. Game wardens follow up on all information received through the Stop Poaching program and in many cases, these tips lead to successful prosecutions of violators.  Tips can be submitted by phone, text or online and reporters can choose to remain anonymous.
