Thread: Poaching, let's get this straight

I just spent 1/2 hr reading back through all this I still can't work out if I'm aloud to poach or not (just kidding)!!!
I had read a article awhile back in the farming mag from someone at WAMS saying "lets get it straight its not poaching it's trespassing" (I've been trying to find the article I think I've posted it before).
While I would / will not tolerate people on my property there are a few property owners around this area who think they own everything and are making a song and dance about it all with no right! and to the stage where they are becoming the criminal. I hate to say it but I feel like just going there to antagonise them. Before all the ante comes out this is a area open to the public!
Is there a difference between poaching and illegal hunting? yea, to me poaching is stealing other peoples stock! to me there is a big difference.
While there are websites out like WAMS I think the average hunter is now more informed and can back up there reason's for being in the area regardless of what the farmer thinks!
Not sure what I'm trying to say but I'm sure people know when they are breaking the law and I'm sure there are the others that are just pushing it to the limits, mean while I think there are some landowners out there on marginal ground that just whish no body was there.
