To report violators, 24 hours a day/7 days a week

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. Please report poachers and violators and help protect Alabama's natural resources.
The poacher is not a sportsman. He or she may use high-speed vehicles, spotlights, cell phones, CB radios, and illegal traps to capture his prey. To someone poaching, giving fish and game a fair chance is a waste of time. The poacher is motivated by profit, laziness, or to gain an advantage over lawful, ethical hunters and anglers. Everyone suffers from this kind of greed.
The more information, the better. Tracking poachers is difficult and dangerous work. Poachers are considered armed and potentially dangerous. The details you provide aid in the swiftness of arrest and increase the safety of enforcement officers.
Call 1-800-272-GAME (4263) to report violators. Calling is easy, fast and completely confidential!
