Poaching is a crime........ just look in any DNR game laws book.
In New York State, the word does not appear anywhere in the game laws and though I'm not positive I don't think it does in any other law either. If you are arrested or ticketed for some violation it will never be for "poaching". The specific violation will be called out.
The word poaching is synonymous with violation or illegal. I don't care how you word it, it's a crime.
But thanks for the lesson.
