With that definition, almost everyone on here is a poacher. I know that I've broke a few minor laws over the years.

I just made the statement because Trent said nothing about hunting on someone else's property. Your analogy was in direct reference to trespassing - not pods. They had a legal right to hunt the property; however, no legal right to use pods. I said it wasn't the best analogy because poaching doesn't apply only to trespassing. Of course, you are aware of that.
Here you go...

Wrong.
(A) It is unlawful for a person to introduce a fertility control agent or chemical substance into any wildlife without a permit from the department.
I spoke with a DNR officer and he was already doing research on it because of the article. Regulations to state it's illegal on public land, also the drug that is used is a schedule 3 narcotic which is illegal to posess without a prescription. Which you're not going to have.
So it's illegal by those terms.
Shooting a deer with a poison would be introducing a chemical substance.
dingling your half-sister, illegal also I presume?
So you can shoot hundreds of does in June and July at night with a permit but you can not shoot them with a bow using a drug that kills them faster? Now that sound about par for the DNR.
It's not poison, it's a powerful muscle relaxer(anectine aka succinylcholine) . It stops the heart from working.

As far as SC is concerned, it's still possession of a controlled substance/prescription drug. It used to be commonplace in bow hunting years ago, but not so much now a days.
Those guys knew perfectly well it was illegal in CO. You can't even use a lighted sight pin or a lighted knock there.

I'm sure these guys knew the risk in what they did, like said you don't get to utilize the very liberal laws we do in sc in many other states. I don't feel like the intentions were as alleged either. Furthermore I hope none of you self righteous "do no wrong" guys don't live in glass houses...
I agree with the above...
There's not a soul on here that's ever fudged on a law.... Nope, not one person.
X2. They had all tags license etc. They shot fair chase game with an arrow. They had a "pod" on the arrow to aid in recovery. Sure what they did was not smart being that its illegal, but I don't agree with the "that's not hunting that's just going out and killing things" comment. If that was their goal there are alor easier ways to do it than that
Exactly.
Holy shit. They allow Sept bow hunting only for elk, because of them being stupid at that time.
There is a huge difference between 40yd stupid and 100yd stupid.
So, if i read all this right, these poison arrows kill more cleanly? I.e. The chance of losing animals is greatly reduced due to toxin stopping the heart?
I hear guys flinging arrows out to 100yds? How much energy is left and how deadly is that arrow stuck in a hindquarter of a 1000# animal? Probably only deadly with poison tips?
Kind of defeats the purpose of a primitive weapon hunt you reckon?
They flung arrows to 100yds. I'd put money on it.
Yeah, they are poachers.
Until you take up poaching you'll never understand it's allure.....
It's an addiction.
