POACHING?
Some folks seem to define it as hunting without permission, even if using legal weapons and methods. Others seem to define it as any hunting that has an illegal component, be it weapons, methods, or trespass. Wiki calls it Poaching has traditionally been defined as the illegal capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.[1] Me? As a landowner, I call poaching any part of hunting that involves an illegal component, be it weapons, methods, or trespass. But the trespass is what really rustles my jimmys, what kind of no-count dipwad thinks it's perfectly OK to go on lands of another and harvest game? |

All of the above.
I have people poaching and trespassing on my land in Fauquier county all the time. The bastards think that it is a public use section of woods, hunting, horseback riding, four wheelers. Not to mention people specifically hunting my property line at my farm in Orange. There land is used as a cattle farm thus it is horrible for wild game. So they sit 40 yards off my line, hopefully only shoot with the animal on their side but I doubt that shit happens. Hunting one of my stands in pursuit of a monster buck this year, these assholes have tried to set up twice on the other side of the line, at least when they see me they leave. One time I used my grunt call to tell them they were assholes, they must speak deer too because they got up and left. |

The word "poaching" is almost like the word "racist" these days. So many meanings, all interpreted differently by different people.
Poaching to me, means hunting on land without permission. It also means wasteful hunting....hunting an excessive amount of, not out of necessity, but just for fun or sport (which leads to extinction) Some people define it as hunting without a license, or using prohibited weapons or tactics. I disagree with that. I see that as similar to all NFA and gun control laws on the books. I shouldn't have to ask the government for permission, and pay them, to provide food for my family. And if I'm going hunting, I want to use the most efficient and advanced tools and tactics to bag an animal...including baiting. But then again, I don't hunt

Here in NH, you can hunt someone's land as long as you stay 300 feet from an occupied dwelling (unless you have written permission from them to be closer) and the land isn't posted with no hunting/no trespassing signs. A lot of landowners have their property listed as "current use" which allows people to use it (liability on user) and the landowner gets a tax break. |

Funny thing is, I could do that if I wanted to in my back yard. The deer just stand 30' away and watch me when I walk to/from my truck or garage

Directions
In a pan large enough to poach the fish in, combine the stock, wine, parsley, and chives. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat so the water is barely simmering. Slowly lower the fish into the poaching liquid. Poach the fish until it is just cooked through, about 6 minutes. |
