It's not poaching until you kill something. Here in MA the retail stores used to have to stay closed on Sundays and that is gone and the package stores had to stay closed and that one isgone also. The only one left is the NO hunting on Sundays.

If you cut a couple of shooting lanes on public land which is illegalin most states and then kill something are you then a poacher? If so I guess I fall into that category. I never think much about clipping a few branches although technically you are damaging the tree. Yikes!!!
