REPORT A VIOLATION

OUR MISSION:
​

"Turn In Poachers (TIP), Inc. is a non-profit 501 (c)3 that is dedicated to curbing the illegal taking of
​Minnesota's fish, wildlife, and natural resources"

​

​Established in 1981 by a group of concerned sportsman, TIP has worked directly with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as a public/private PARTNERSHIP.  Our organizational structure is such that TIP provides the reward fund as an incentive for individuals to report natural resource violations. 

​As a non-profit, TIP receives no tax money from the State of Minnesota or the Department of Natural resources.  The organization is funded through membership fees, donations, and fundraisers.  Continue through our website to learn about how TIP programs work to deter poaching and its harmful effects.
