Going to need some help coming up with a better name for them, and maybe even some more ideas as well. C'mon, participate.
Thanks for the input guys. I feel like I've got enough now that I want to establish this faction, although more details and stuff are always appreciated.

The Poachers are an all-human worldwide organization that are notorious for their activities which involve hunting for just about every other race. They will take their "exotic game" dead or alive, including anthros, beastfolk, and aliens. The overall organization is made up of several smaller different competing groups, but all have the same goal in mind.
Organization: As far as organization of the group goes, starting from the top are the rich clients who back up the group and are the ones who demand the trophies and direct members to hunting grounds, below them are the veteran hunters lead their own teams and plan out hunts, then after that are the spies who act as the eyes and ears for the organization and will go undercover to investigate areas for game and blend into societies to locate targets of interest, and finally are the lowly grunts who do the actual hunting and take orders from the veterans. Higher ranking members are typically protected by legal aid given their wealth and power, but lower members are usually left for dead if they get caught. The organization typically has parties where the people get together to discuss business, the best places to hunt, and show off their trophies.
Weapons: Nothing too powerful that would destroy the target. For lethal hunts they will be using conventional weapons like large-caliber hunting rifles and semi auto AR-15-like weapons. For hunts where they want to capture the prey alive, they use dart guns, tasers, and other less lethal guns like the kinds with beanbag rounds and rubber bullets. They also have a nasty variety of traps that they could set up.
Vehicles: Old sedans and pickup trucks, as well as dune buggies and other off road vehicles
Style: Outdoor wear, hunting vests, hunting jackets, camouflage
Tactics: In densely populated areas, the Poachers will often resort to serial killer tactics, relying heavily on stealth to bring down targets. In not so populated areas like small villages, they will directly go after the target, wiping out any opposition that gets in their way. Out in the field and wherever they are not in a civilization, they will use traditional hunting techniques. If the target is really in high demand, the group will disregard all the mentioned tactics and do whatever it takes to obtain the target.
How they Operate: First, spies or insiders are sent to check out different areas, if they find anything interesting that the client might want, then they will tip them off. Next, the actual hunters are sent into area, with plans being organized by the veterans and the actual hunting being carried out by the grunts. When hunts aren't officially organized, the grunts are free to hunt areas as they see fit to nab some trophies for themselves.
Confirmed Areas of Operation: Socal

An example of them will be shown in my Rio:Prequel story (at least the group in that part of the world) if you want a taste. projectcyden.boards.net/thread/170/rio-prequel
