Two anonymous tipsters split a $1,000 reward for information they gave to the DNR that led to the arrest and conviction of three Northern Michigan relatives who poached three cow elk in the Pigeon River County State Forest near Gaylord in late 2019.

To recap, 29-year-old Christian White of Gaylord, 70-year-old Harry White, and 56-year-old Ronald White of West Branch, each forfeited their weapons and was ordered by the court to serve six months of probation along with losing their hunting licenses for 15 years and a $625 fine due to the poaching of the three cows.

Since 2019, the Safari Club International - Michigan Involvement Committee has offered the $1,000 cash reward to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone killing an elk or moose in Michigan.
