Basically, "poaching" is the illegal taking or possession of game, non-game, protected, threatened, or endangered species. In order to understand the fish/game laws of this state, please familiarize yourself with the hunting and fishing regulations posted on the WDFW website. Hunting deer/elk with the aid of spotlight, closed season, closed area, possessing over the legal limits of fish/wildlife, or the killing of protected and endangered animals are just a few examples. Poaching Repercussions: Poaching has a direct affect on all of us that follow the rules. For example, poaching diminishes current and future populations thus reducing hunting/fishing opportunities for us and our children, and deprives local businesses of revenues. It is not known exactly how much poachers take, but it's estimated they can illegally take just as much as legitimate hunters/fishers do during regular seasons. What to look for: If you believe you have just witnessed a fish/wildlife violation, try and record all the necessary information: Auto license number, make, model, year, description of vehicle (poor shape, off-road vehicle, camper shell, etc.). Person that committed the violation (race, sex, color of hair, build), name, and address (if available). Type of violation, when/where did it occur, or species. Why Should You Report a Violation: Bottom line is that poaching steals the opportunity from the rest of us that follow the rules and regulations. Currently, Fish and Wildlife Officers cannot apprehend all violators. However, with the help from the hunting/fishing community, we can make a difference.
