Define "poaching."
What we have is an English sense of "fair chase," which was and is never practiced where people depend on the local environment for sustenance. The point of most hunting laws are to restrict the taking of game for financial gain by the state and prevent it being overdone to protect it as an financially renewable resource.
It can and is overdone, with blue tongue and drought hitting the deer in Northern Missouri, the annual harvest has significantly declined. Nonetheless tag sales keep marching on.
As said, you make enough laws and eventually you can't be right in the eyes of the court. MO has a "no road hunting" rule, loaded guns in the front seat readily available are the key - therefore rifles have to be unloaded and cased in the rear of the vehicle. Yet, in Alternative Season you can hunt deer with handguns, and under our current CCW regulations it can be Openly Carried in the vehicle loaded ready to go.
At this point if you were pulled over a Deputy may well disregard it, but a MDC Agent could construe illegal activity. It would then go to the nature of what you were doing - which could have been trying to spot property markers in a rural area to purchase it. Looks the same as road hunting.
While I won't argue that the principles of Conservation mean regulating some behavior to prevent wiping out a species, it's interesting that we pick and choose who's cultural ethic to propose as the guiding light. In this case English nobility's sense of fair chase was imposed. It's interesting that in the South that included the use of dogs to track and chase deer, which is largely prohibited elsewhere. It would be considered poaching in Missouri.
That's the issue - the nuances of local law are determined and imposed in a myriad of ways which may not be applicable in other states. What I do hunting with an AR pistol next week would be illegal and prompt time in jail elsewhere. Be VERY careful how you want to regulate behavior as nobody agrees on the standard, which makes one man's taking game another's poaching.
As for "God given" rights, it seems that "inalienable" has fallen out of favor, but is the more accurate word used in the day. If we are loathe to allow the anti gunners to spin a new definition for terms - "gun safety," why should Christians then submit to having their choice of term disallowed? Is there not a 1st Amendment which is the entire point of defending with the 2d? Yes, politics is involved, but it doesn't mean those who understand what "God given" rights are have to quit using the phrase to sell the concept to those who deny BOTH as their belief. Christians could really care less if it's heard as some quaint or offensive term - it's truth to them and there is no backing down from it.
We should quit trying to accommodate the opposition's sense of how the argument can be presented - it only plays to their agenda. It is historically accurate to describe our Rights as "God given" and it can be quoted from many of the founding father's own thoughts on the subject. Whether that is the current vogue of popular interpretation or not has nothing to do with it's reality.
That is exactly what the First Amendment is about and attempting to shackle it to promote another isn't High Road.
