RE: What is poaching?
I think for "public" land, the government has the power to set rules like the Sunday hunting rule. But, IMO, if the land belongs to me, then I can manage that land the way I see fit. I pay for the land, insurance, upkeep, and taxes. I think my sunk cost is enough to earn the right to set my own hunting rules on my own land. The government would do well to mind their own business, their shop is in enough disarray, I can manage just fine without them.
