OHA recently increased the TIP reward amounts, and pays typically near $20,000 annually to informants in fish and wildlife violation cases through our Turn In Poachers (TIP) Reward Fund. OHA has also helped pass laws for tougher penalties for poaching. If you support our efforts, please join and support OHA at www.oregonhunters.org
TIP rewards are paid for information leading to the arrest/conviction of person(s) for the illegal possession, killing, taking, and/or waste of deer, elk, antelope, bear, cougar, wolf, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, moose, furbearers and/or game birds. Informants may remain anonymous and still collect a reward.
