Where do you draw the line??
At what point do you provide a statement?
I called TIPS last year about a moose carcass I found. Got a call from the CO several days later. He gave me his cell and requested that next time I call him direct and he can get right on it or provide the information to another CO if he is off duty. Sometimes the time factor can make all the difference in catching/prosecuting them.
Try contacting any of these guys

I don't see any different that if I saw someone breaking into my neighbours house. I'd give the statement and testify in an instant. They are all crimes against the people and if we back down.....the bag guys win. Like Trimmer said.....if we turn them in, they turn into wimps. If we don't ....they become stronger bullies!!
Entry into my neighbour's house is a different deal than an overlimit of fish or a stolen game camera. The bad actors I see come from countries that have gone through some civil war in the last 20 years. These guys look like special forces and carry themselves like they were killing people in their youth. I would have to be totally certain it's a serious enough offense to incur their rath.
I felt like a lot of you guys when I was 30ish!
I'm 60ish and would turn them in and testify in an instant. Getting away with the crimes is what makes these criminals more brazen.
You talked the talk by calling what this truly is: POACHING.
Time to act now. Just do the right thing.
