poacher

Anyone who would be a considered a poacher if standing in the area is also a poacher if in the air space.

To make it simple, a poacher killer, if armed, is also defined as a poacher while inside one of these areas.

After that, to be a poacher will mean taking a tremendous risk: simultaneously becoming not only hunter, but hunted.

Just because he's a heartless poacher doesn't mean he is a horrible dentist.

Then, anyone in those areas with any sort of equipment for poaching (guns, traps, whatever) is by definition a poacher.

For instance, if someone has the disposable income to buy a poacher license, they would be a good kidnapping target.

That aside, the connotation depends on whether your the poacher or the one being preyed upon.

A poacher (in the employer sense) wouldn't really consider their actions evil - just necessary to get the best employees.

A poacher won't even be able to sell an elephant tusk to anyone without fear.

A kidnap gang might pose as poachers to try to lure poacher hunters for kidnapping.

The companies being preyed upon would obviously view the poacher as, at best, a bounder and a cad of the lowest kind.

We're going to find some poacher sometime soon stumbling out of the Bili forest, mumbling psychotically and covered in his friends' blood.

While [in the poacher's mind] this sends a message to game officials, the poacher is also able to recover about 2 inches of keratin, being that about 2 inches must be left behind in order to "safely" dehorn the animal.

Maybe once their buyer appears on site to take the horn, they take a picture and shot the buyer calling him the "poacher" to collect the poacher money and resale the horn?

By "poacher license", I do not mean a license to poach.

I sympathized with the "poacher" until s/he started taking needless cheap shots like that at the end.

Poacher licenses should be expensive, with the cost going to help the animals.

There was a fascinating BBC Radio documentary on numbers stations called 'Tracking the Lincolnshire Poacher'.
