About the NVOGT Citizen’s Board

Organization


Nevada Operation Game Thief (NVOGT) and the NVOGT Citizen’s Board (NVOGTCB) were created in the late 1980s with the support of judges, prosecutors and the Nevada Department of Wildlife to allow people to anonymously report wildlife crimes and offer rewards in exchange for information leading to convictions.

Because state funding is not available to pay rewards for tips on wildlife crimes, the NVOGT Citizen’s Board relies entirely on donations and fundraising. The NVOGT Citizen’s Board operates as a non-profit 501(3)(c) corporation and is staffed completely by volunteers and outdoorsmen who donate their time to help protect Nevada’s resources.

The NVOGT Citizen’s Board attends numerous regional sporting and fishing events to promote awareness, assist Nevada’s wildlife protection agencies and rally support within the community. We offer the presence of trailers, host fundraising events and raffles to promote our organization. We are thankful for the support within the Nevada community.

Where We Operate


Though based in Carson City, the NVOGT Citizen’s Board works in conjunction with the Nevada Department of Wildlife as a resource for reporting poaching and wildlife crimes throughout the entire state of Nevada. Information related to wildlife violations can be reported 24x7 and all OGT correspondence remains completely confidential.
