Thread: Poaching, let's get this straight

From Poaching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Poaching has traditionally been defined as the illegal hunting, killing or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.[1][2][3][4][5] Until the 20th century, mostly impoverished peasants poached for subsistence purposes, thus supplementing a scarce diet.[6] By contrast, stealing domestic animals such as cattle raiding is considered theft, not poaching."

A deer behind a high wire counts as domestic stock, it's raised in that fashion and it traded in that fashion.

You got me confused WH (doesn't take much these days )

In the other thread you say that "sensible poaching" is ok ?

What's the difference ?

I think that was Neckers's definition Dave Curious to hear WH's view.

Think he means low fence is ok in his view, high fence not ? Not sure ?

Yup that's right. Until you get caught it is either " border patrolling" or " fringing"
When you're silly enough to get to the stage where you stupidly supply your real name or they ID your vehicle; you can rest assured that your firearms licence will go Ta Ta's too along with a healthy fine. DON'T GET CAUGHT!!!!!

Hope you mean rather than not get caught don't do it at all...

I hope I am wrong, but that post sounds to me like you are condoning it, and willing to try and cover your sorry arse if confronted

Lately Pengy I've taken the approach if I dig the hole deep enough they'll never find the body.

You might find this hard to believe, but down here anyway cockies know about the poaching and don't worry about it too much.
That is right up until people start doing fuckwit things, then the game changes a lot.

Agreed. So arseholes who trespass to shoot animals on private property should be charged with aggravated burglary and dealt with to the full extent of the law. No different to walking into someone's home with a loaded weapon in my eyes. Its time to tidy this shit up.

But if the Law is also doing the poaching as seen on camera and others poaching pigs in Opotiki by law from outside the area when does it stop . If you expect people to follow the law don't do it yourself . RE the law

And here in lies the problem. Because some of the worst offenders are police very little is done when reported. I never have and never will shoot private land without permission. I have clients on the verge of getting "nasty" with people caught on their land and keeping the law out of it, Which is going to open up a whole other can of worms.
