RE: Do we REALLY view Poaching as a "crime"?
Why doesn't someone ask the local DNR officer in your area what their defination of poaching is? Ask them why "poaching" is illegal. Ask them for some examples of what happens to the poachers when caught. A good magazine to read for some examples of what the DNR officers have to go though to catch and convict a poacher is Pennsylvania Game News. They have stories from the PA Game Wardens. I have been read this magazine for years. But I still say ask your local DNR officer what poaching is.
