Someone's Stealing Alabama's Wildlife We Pay Cash for Information on Poachers. Call 1-800-272-GAME (4263) to report violators. Operation Gamewatch is a program designed to stop fish and game law violators in Alabama. Citizen involvement is and always has been the key to its success. The problem is serious.

The Poacher is not a sportsman. He may use high-speed vehicles, spotlights, CB radios, police scanners, and illegal traps to capture his prey. His idea of fair is no chance at all. The season, hour, bag limit, sex, age and method mean nothing. Wildlife, including threatened and endangered species, are killed for profit and "just for fun". But everyone suffers from this kind of "fun". Simply put, Poaching is Stealing... It is stealing from you and future generations.

There are Organized Poaching Rings in Alabama.

Don't be Deceived... Poachers don't "kill for the meat."

Poachers Kill and Sell for Profit.

Hunting out of season and using spotlights are two of the more commonly observed methods of poaching, but remember; hunters taking more than the legal limit, hunting over bait or trappers that use illegal devices are also guilty of poaching.
