RE: Do we REALLY view Poaching as a "crime"?
MY definition of a poacher.
One who attempts or does take an animal (game or non-game animal) during: a closed season; on property without permission; during illegal times (a.k.a. at night); with the incorrect weapon for said season; takes more of a particular game than the game laws allow.

Poacher
POACHER, n. One that steals game.
That definition comes from the Webster 1812 dictionary
again ..... define stealing [:-]

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)?

. Personally I don't think anyone needs to poach anytime to feed his family but it sure makes for a fine justification for some folks.

In New York State, the word does not appear anywhere in the game laws and though I'm not positive I don't think it does in any other law either. If you are arrested or ticketed for some violation it will never be for "poaching". The specific violation will be called out.

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