The "STOP POACHING" program is an opportunity for you to help protect your wildlife resource. Rewards are paid when an arrest is made or a citation issued. The program works because people care about Wyoming's wildlife. YOUR CALL WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE - REPORT ALL WILDLIFE VIOLATIONS.

Wyoming Wildlife Protectors Association - This private organization was the initial base of the present Department funded Stop Poaching Program. The WGWA provided a $500 yearly donation to the organization to fund the reward program which was paid out to informants of wildlife law violations. In 1990, the Protectors Association became funded by the Wyoming Game & Fish Department. The WGWA continues to support the WWPA with funding assistance for the Stop Poaching Program awareness through stick-on calendars, posters and other merchandise.

In 2001, the WGWA refurbished an old time horse drawn jail wagon for the purpose of increasing awareness of the public to the Stop Poaching Program. WGWA members Mike Ehlebracht, Rod Lebert, Jim Seeman and Gary Boyd of the Casper region obtained the wagon and did the construction. WGWA supporter Duaine Hagen provided the wagon. The WGWA provided the funds for the refurbishment and the printing of the Stop Poaching Posters at a cost of over $5,800.00. This jail wagon has been transported around to various Wyoming county fairs and parades by Association members. The making of the “Poach Coach” was detailed in the Spring 2002 issue of the International Game Warden Magazine.

For the Stop Poaching effort in Wyoming, the Wyoming Game Wardens Association has contributed over $28,000.00.
