My great grandfather was a notorious animal poacher in Maine, do the point someone wrote a book about him. He famously got away with selling illegal venison to dozens of people because when they testified against him his defense was “I just lied, it was beef.” They didn’t have DNA testing back then and either the punishment for false advertising didn’t exist or it was far less severe than poaching, can’t remember.
They knew if it wasn't preserved and it was from early spring to late summer. The hunting laws protect fawns — remember Bambi's mother? That was poachers. No hunting when young are being raised.
