* The 1923 version of ''[[Film/Scaramouche1923 Scaramouche]]'' begins with a peasant having been executed for poaching on the Marquis' land. We are meant to sympathize with the slain poacher, who was presumably desperate for food, and to see the Marquis as evil. In fact, this is how the Marquis is first established as the bad guy.
* French movie ''Film/NiVuNiConnu'' (1958) stars Creator/LouisDeFunes as Léon Blaireau, a sympathetic poacher who's pitted against Parju, a [[MeddlesomePatrolman Meddlesome Forest Guard]] and gamekeeper. Mr. Bluette, the prison director, calls Blaireau a "Rural Bohemian" but the mayor angrily reminds that he is still a poacher. Much to his dismay, Blaireau is incredibly popular in the village since he brings most of the game and fishes...

* Creator/RudyardKipling's poem [[http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poems_land.htm "The Land"]] is about a line of countrymen named Hobden, who the narrator (who may be Kipling himself) imagines tending the land which the narrator owns since the time of the Romans or before. The narrator knows full well that Hobden is a "flagrantly a poacher", but considers that really the Hobdens have a better claim to the place than its legal owners (and anyway, his advice on the land is beyond price).
