I hate poaching. However, if I needed the food, and couldn't even afford the tag,I'd probably do it. For the "kill"or a set of antlers NO WAY. I don't see that ever happening for me but I suppose it could happen in some places.

As for people not needing to live off the land...move to AK. Most people up there I know shoot a moose and catch salmon for food for the year. Yep they live off the land alot up there.
