I was trying to point out that in fact the two, poaching and trespassing, are separate issues. By definition, IN THE DICTIONARY I should have said, poaching is also defined as taking of fish and game while trespassing, even though you may be licensed properly. Poaching as is used in reference to the majority of cases involving the illegal taking of game, is when it is done contrary to the rules governing the sport, ie. night hunting, over bag limit, out of season, etc. Trespassing is a separate issue from poaching. That is correct Jack. If my statements were misleading or confusing in that regard, for that I apologize. Perhaps the way I worded the opening paragraph is a bit confusing.

It also means to trespass in order to take fish and game. So technically speaking, one may be properly licensed to fish or hunt but if they trespass in order to do that, they have become a poacher. Would someone who did this be charged with poaching? More than likely not but they may be charged with illegal trespass."" This statement is incorrect. If a warden gives me a summons to court for "poaching" because I was standing on property belonging to another (against said property owners permission) I would only need Websters Dictionary for my defense. Taking fish & game illegally is poaching. Trespass is the act of being on/in someones property or buildings AGAINST THIER WISHES, made known verbally or by signs posted at any known access point. Any first year lawyer would have this poaching charge (legally takining a deer, for instance, while illegally standing on the property of another) tossed out and if fish and/or game had been taken and kept as evidence would have to be returned in the same condition it was taken. I also believe any judge, hearing you were feeding your family/kids illegally taken game would let you off.Only a new or hot-shot warden would write you on it. Poaching and tresspassing are two separate charges and therefore constitute two separate sentances! “”Poaching by its simplest definition is the taking of fish and game illegally.
