​A new phone app allows people to submit reports about someone who may be poaching. Those behind the app in nonprofit Turn in Poachers (TIP) say the poaching problem in the state “huge.”  Specifically designed to help crack down on poaching, the new app is gaining traction​.  The app is just another tool to help get more officers involved in curbing the illegal activity.  TIP's partnership with the DNR goes hand in hand with our work.  Our story on KSTP Eyewitness News
