I seriously doubt that the people with the "POACHING IS POACHING" posts would let their wife or children go hungry just so they can say that they never broke a law.

I never said that it was legal, just that if I had to to feed my family, I would in a hillbilly's heart beat.
I appreciate your statements, and I'm like you. I am a "poaching is stealing" guy, but I have learned to never say never. I might poach to feed my family, just like I might steal if I were desperate, but I wouldn't call it right. More likely I would sell my gun and gear and buy a side of beef while I get a job.
If I catch a poacher I'm not going to spend any time wondering if his kids need the meat, I'm turning him in. If I got desperate enough to steal I would expect someone to do the same to me.
