Are you a poacher if you shoot a deer on a property you are allowed to hunt, thedeer crosses over to a property you don't have access to, yet you pursue the animal anyway?
No. Leave your bow behind and go find your animal. It's always best to let them know first, but if they deny you permission just call your game warden and he will help you recover your animal (or at least make sure the landowner backs off you). On the issue of poaching to feed my family??? YEP, in a heartbeat... But only if I had
NO other means of feeding them. In todays day and age that shouldn't happen much as most NEEDY people get assistance (foodstamps).
