Report A Poacher

1-800-642-3800 or #3800 if calling from a TELUS cell phone

Albertans can assist in the protection of fish and wildlife resources through the Report a Poacher program. If you see or suspect any illegal activity related to fish or wildlife, call the number above. The Report a Poacher line is available 24 hours a day and is toll-free across North America.

Callers providing information that leads to charges being laid may qualify for a reward. Callers can remain anonymous and still qualify for a reward. Any personal information you give is kept strictly confidential.

Any information you can provide Report a Poacher about a suspected violation is valuable. If possible, collect the following details:

• Date, time and location of the event
• Licence plate number of the vehicle involved
• Any distinguishing details about the vehicle such as:
  • Make
  • Model
  • Colour
  • Dents
  • Stickers
  • Any additional details
• Description of the people involved
• Details about the violation

The Report a Poacher line can also be used to provide after-hours service in emergencies involving wildlife, such as a bear mauling.

If you’re having a problem with an animal and it's not an emergency, please call your nearest Fish and Wildlife Office during regular business hours.
