I only turn poachers in after they have fed their family with the eighth buck that year

Jeff .... a guy tags his buck with his wife's tag (she doesn't even hunt), or it's the last day of the season and 2 guys are hunting, one with a doe tag, the other with a buck tag .... the guy with the buck tag tells the guy with the doe tag, "shoot whatever you see and I'll tag it if it's a buck."2 examples of what some would call poaching.
Yes. You described "crimes".
HONESTLY?????? Would I turn my neighbor in for this "crime"? 1 time thing????
Nope.
Just for conversation's sakes. That's all this is. I'm honestly just trying to feel the pulse of my peers.

Poaching is a crime........ just look in any DNR game laws book.

Can someone give us a definition that we can all agree with? I'm not opposed to that.

Poacher
POACHER, n. One that steals game.
That definition comes from the Webster 1812 dictionary

Hey, the "grey area" feeds families. Are you against a guy trying to feed his family?

Bruce...are you saying every man who poaches is trying to feed his family....and that's why he does it?
So...are we saying that taking an extra buck....hunting out of season....etc....is the equivalent of speeding? What would it take for some of you guys to turn someone in (for poaching or OTHER offenses)?
