Understanding the meaning of "Taking" big game animals

I have not been able to find a clear definition of what "Taking" means for birds, animals, fish etc. I would assume it means the same thing as harvesting or killing or trapping or catching the animal as opposed to the act of just hunting or fishing?
Answer: 
"Take" is defined in statute (Idaho Code 36-202(i)). ""Take" means hunt, pursue, catch, capture, shoot, fish, seine, trap, kill, or possess or any attempt to so do."  http://legislature.idaho.gov/idstat/Title36/T36CH2SECT36-202.htm
