Since they are on my property I would approach them introduce myself, chat and see what exactly is going on. It would be hours or days before any law enforcement would show up here. We are on our own in this area.
In your scenario how would you know they are poachers and not simply trespassers or moonlight lovers?
later,

I think a warning shot would get your point across and for the most part not disclose your location. I'm a little unconventional when it comes to people breaking laws, because law enforcement can only do so much and more than likely these people who are tresspassing probably do it often, not to mention in my area trespasing is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. By no means approach them!

Read a story in missouri about a guy who approached a tresspasser on his land during opening gun season and the guy stabbed him in the chest and ran away =\(Didnt go very deep so the guy was able to get to a hospital and get it stiched up)....gotta be careful never know what will happen. Personally, I would most likely something like what Charlie Elk earlier posted. Never yell at a poacher/tresspasser no matter how badly you may want to.

If they're on your property, you probably know where all the access points are. Find their vehicle and get it's description and plate numbers, then get out of there and make the phone call ASAP. Even if you can't prove they're poaching, you can still nail their asses to the wall for hunting on private ground without permission and trespassing.

I would back off a ways and get someting ,a tree,dirt enbankment between my self and them and yell so they could hear me,telling them to leave,NO warning shot is neccesary or prudent.NOW they know you are about at night,and most likely will never return.
