The best description of poaching is indeed hunting without following legal regulations. Poaching refers to the illegal practice of hunting game animals in violation of conservation laws and regulations that are put in place to manage wildlife populations and protect species. This includes hunting out of season, hunting protected species, or using unlawful methods. The other scenarios, while related to hunting, do not embody the definition of poaching. Hunting during the legal season is a lawful activity that supports wildlife management. Hunting on your own property, as long as it's done in accordance with local laws, is also legal. Similarly, using dogs to hunt game may be permitted under certain regulations, thus does not inherently constitute poaching.
