No, no, you are confused. It has to be a need to be a justified poach. Like, if it is raining really hard and your family is hungry but doesn't want hotdogs and you need red meat and there is a big fat doe in your backyard. THEN poaching is OK.

Well I can afford to feed my family by going to the grocery store, but if I CHOOSE to kill deer, turkey, etc out of season and feed them to my family am I ok then??

Back in the 1970's, my first assignment as a conservation officer was a rural area in northern Colorado. This "feed my family" excuse usually involved a guy who spent most his paycheck on alcoholic beverages after work and, after the family checkbook was drained at the Town Tavern, needed to poach to keep meat on the table. Several poaching cases I am familiar with involved court ordered alcoholdependency counseling.

Not sure in other states but here it is still an antlerless deer until it is over three inches long.

Visible anlers are defined as bony structures that protrude through the skin. Knobs or buttons covered by skin or velvet are not considered visible antlers.
