Lets simplify the Game
Alberta Conservation Association’s REPORT A POACHER program provides Albertans with the opportunity to report suspected violations using a toll-free number:
1-800-642-3800 or #3800 on the TELUS Mobility network (courtesy TELUS Mobility). The line is in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Fishing or hunting out of season, night hunting, exceeding bag limits, illegal sale of fish and wildlife and deposit of harmful substances in lakes and rivers are violations that seriously affect fish and wildlife in Alberta. If you see or know of a violation, you should record all information, including
date
time
location
vehicle licence number
vehicle description
description of person(s) involved
details of violation, and any other details, no matter how insignificant they may seem. You should then contact the nearest Fish and Wildlife Division office or call 1-800-642-3800 as soon as possible.
If the information provided concerns a resource violation and results in the laying of a charge, the reporter may be eligible for a reward. If you have any questions about this program, please contact the nearest Fish and Wildlife Division office.
simple straight forward instructions. No where does it suggest to approach the suspects and confront them. No where does it say you should approach them and hold a seminar on the regulations. Yes i know we all like to be helpfull, but folks remember the law must run its due course. Let a trained professional make the decisions. Dont set a example on here that makes a wannabee hero get him or her in a situation that gets him or her injured.
Secondly
Carry a garbage bag with you.....if you see crap pick it up.....getting ****ed and complaining about it wont make it go away. Is it fair your pickng up chit, of course not. But consider your options.
Most of all...go fishing, I had 2 great days. If you see violators, follow the simple instructions, make the call and go back to what you came to do...FISH
