Maine's Operation Game Thief (Maine OGT) program began in 1989 after Maine Commissioner Bill Vail traveled to Texas to research and learn about their program. Shortly after, Maine modeled Texas's successful program. Since then, most all of the United States and Canadian provinces have a similar program. Since its inception, over 8,000 calls of poaching have been received resulting in well over 2,500 convictions, and thousands of dollars paid in rewards to concerned citizens who reported suspected activity.
