Poaching - The illegal taking of fish or wildlife.

Poacher - A person who hunts, traps, or fishes illegally.

Citizen concerns over unacceptable levels of poaching led to the establishment of the Wildlife Resource Protection Fund. The Fund's mission is to counter poaching activity in Michigan through a program called Report All Poaching (RAP). Hunters, anglers and trappers support the Fund through purchase of hunting, fishing and fur harvester licenses.
