I think originally this was about friends/aquaintances killing more deer than the limit for said area. Whether that defines poaching or not, it is breaking the law. Crime? I believe that is the word we are looking to define here. Can someone post that definition up? Correct me if I am wrong Jeff, but is this not what you are looking for?

If breaking the law is a crime, then bagging more than your limit or illegaly taking game is a crime. A crime is punishable by law. Do we want a poacher to be punished?
