Andy Alban, law enforcement program administrator for GF&P says poaching cheats everyone in the state…..

Alban says their enforcement staff is stretched across a very big state…..

Alban says other hunters, landowners, and members of the public need to be aware of any violations they may see……

You can access the South Dakota TIPS line on the web, or call 1-888-OVERBAG.
In the last year, reports from the TIPS line resulted in one hundred ninety-three arrests, and over thirty thousand dollars in fines.
