Which of the following actions is considered poaching?

Hunting only during the legal season
Harvesting animals without a license
Using legal hunting methods
Following bag limits

The correct answer is: Harvesting animals without a license

Poaching refers to the illegal hunting, killing, or harvesting of animals. Unlike the other options, harvesting animals without a license is not allowed and therefore considered poaching. Hunting during the legal season, using legal hunting methods, and following bag limits are all allowed and considered ethical and responsible hunting practices. Choosing to hunt without a valid license not only violates laws and regulations, but also poses a threat to wildlife populations and can negatively impact the ecosystem. Therefore, option B is the only choice that meets the criteria of poaching.
