Poaching reward fund

The North Fork Landowners’ Association offers a reward of up to $500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a poacher on the North Fork.
     In November 2007, in fact, a North Forker reported a poacher for shooting after dark and from a vehicle, killing a deer on private land without permission, and hunting without a license. In December, the board of directors voted to award him the full $500 reward.
     To report a poacher, call (800) TIP-MONT (847-6668). To apply for the reward, see any board member.
