Anyone Report Poachers/Illegal Things in CO?

[ReaptheHeat]

Person I know is running an illegal outfitter operation. Has a legit website and is posting all over the CO hunting facebook pages.

I looked him up in DORA and did not see a license. I also know this person would not have garnered the appropriate licenses to outfit or guide. I reported it to the CO Outfitters Association and Operation Game Thief. I feel like I should mind my own business, but it bothers me on a moral level.

Has anyone seen outcomes using Operation Game Thief or other agenies?

That shouldn’t and likely won’t be taken lightly. Good on you for reporting.

Contact your local CPW officer.
I know the officer here is constantly chasing our local outlaws

I’ve turned in a few for major stuff and ignored a few for minor stuff.

What made you look them up?

Invited to FB page, saw posts all over CO FB pages. Ended up checking it out.

Dont they also have to have permits from Federal Agencies if they are operating on public land? If so and the State doesnt do anything about it, take it to the Feds.

Yep, i called the local warden a few years ago. He came out and wrote some tickets and confiscated at least one elk. He was super responsive.

I don’t know if the CPW still does it but poaching/illegal activities reported used to get you a Pref Point

Probably should have turned in a couple dudes on fat tired motorcycles, a few more running side x sides, and several driving pickups off trail in the Flat Tops. Inconsiderate idiots

We got fired upon by an adjoining landowner to the San Juan Forest two days ago... crested a rise and started taking handgun fire from a homeowner even though we were still well away from his property! We called 911 and wound up speaking with DNR, National Forest Service, local PD and more... thankfully we were not hit but took about 12 rounds striking all around us and zipping close overhead with no warning. We hit the deck, rolled through some cactus and called 911!

$500 bucks for big game violations, and the chance at a pp or even license in that unit.

Any charges filed?

The agents said they would be making a joint visit to the home to try and uncover any admission that might allow charges so we are waiting on the results but have let them know we will file charges if they deem plausible
