Here's a better question:

When is poaching ever appropriate? In other words, what possible reason could there be to poach?

No. That would require someone to bring in farm raised deer, which is even worse than having a fence.


Actually, yes. In Louisiana, you are supposed to push all the wild deer off and have the property inspected.

You cannot fence in wild deer in Louisiana. How easily that is enforced is another question entirely.

ETA: all of this is irrelevant to the question in the OP though, so I'm not going down this rabbit hole any further.

The deer don't belong to the government here. That is one of the major differences between american game management and European game management. The game belongs to the public and the state is tasked by the public to manage it.

Are we talking about crossing a property line to kill a gobbling turkey and put a legitimate tag on it, or shooting turkeys from a moving vehicle out of season? Both are technically poaching, but different. What about leaving a shoveler in the marsh in favor of a gadwall? What about getting home and realizing you had 26 trout instead of 25?

We are going to need the OP to qualify his question.

Sure, killing a deer with out a license or tag regardless of if the land was being trespassed or permission.

Poaching vs trespassing???

I have never hunted deer at night, but rabbits on the other hand????? is one "better" than the other, and at what point does hunting late turn into poaching? officially, shooting hours end 30 min after sunset, but with a bright moon, open food plot, and good optics does 10 minutes late make you a poacher?

I have only once trespassed and was a nervous wreck, would not do that again

I would have caught some poachers red handed on my WGI game camera but it didn't take any pictures of them. Unfortunately they wouldn't even steal it. Luckily my WGI feeder hadn't been working all year and the deer had left the property so I don't think they killed shite.

Everyone should have a license every year and tag as the regulations require.

The basic idea I was getting at is what reason could you have to do any of that?

No one NEEDS to hunt to provide for their family, at least not the majority of hunters anyway. So 99 times out off 100, I would say the "subsistence" excuse does not apply.

There is no other appropriate reason to poach.

Setting an example that the rule doesnt apply is not good parenting.

Because I don't believe poaching is appropriate?

Yeah, if you think it's appropriate, you and I wouldn't get along.

There's a difference between counting ducks or fish wrong and being 1 or 2 over the limit versus going out and killing a deer out of season or a doe during bucks only. All are wrong, but one is an obvious show of intent to poach.

What if a deer is in my garden eating my mustard greens?

Is it not easier to dispatch said deer and eat him/her?

I'm on almost 100 acres surrounded by a few thousand acres of familial property.
