OMG!
This has probably been the most ridiculous thread I've read in this site.
Thank GOD I LIVE IN TEXAS!
Poaching: while hard to pinpoint an exact definition here, is essentially taking of any wildlife resource illegally.
PERIOD!
I own land and I also lease land to hunt on and in both cases, this means I OWN the RIGHT to hunt/kill the state owned wildlife located on these properties.
If anyone, even my landowner were to take an animal without my permission, they would be
Poaching!
And they would be STEALING from me my ability to Harvest the animal.
Also
If you kill a big game animal on private property without landowner/manager consent, it is a state jail felony, including arrest, fines, and state restitution.
BTW:
What ever happened to the Amish mafia?
Lol
