A violation of ANY established game laws....
Not quite! It's not considered poaching unless you actually kill game! Otherwise it is multiple game law violations, having lost a plug for your shotgun is no excuse, it's a violation! But, it wouldn't be poaching unless you didn't have the necessary licenses and permits and stamps.
Hunting on Sunday would be a violation of the game laws of that particular state but not poaching unless you "kill" something!
