SOCIAL CIRCLE, GA. (WTOC) - Saturday marks the first day of firearms deer season, but it also is Turn In Poachers Day in Georgia, according to the Georgia Dept. of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Division.
Gov. Nathan Deal recently signed a proclamation for Turn In Poachers Day. A poacher is someone who takes wildlife illegally thereby depriving other citizens of the state's natural resources, according to the proclamation.
The DNR outlines common poaching violations: hunting during illegal hours, hunting from a public road, taking over the bag limit, hunting or fishing in unauthorized areas, killing deer illegally, buying or selling wildlife, killing or being in possession of nongame or endangered species and stocking wildlife.
To report poachers, call TIP hotline at 800.241.4113, dial *DNR from a cell phone, or email the tip to TurnInPoachers@dnr.state.ga.us. Try to include these details with a tip: the type of violation, a description of the violator, description of the violator's vehicle, and the date, time and location of the violation.
Tips from the hotline go to the Georgia DNR conservation ranger for more investigation. If information leads to an arrest, TIP, a non-profit organization that protects wildlife from poachers, pays a reward to the caller. Callers may choose to remain anonymous.
