What is the origin of the term poacher as in unlawful hunting?

Answer 1

Poaching is the illegal taking of wild plants or animals contrary to local and international conservation and wildlife management laws. The poaching of game and fish was made a crime in England in the seventeenth century, as aristocratic landowners sought to preserve their shooting and property rights. Poor peasants did most of the poaching to supplement their diets with meat and fish.
