Book Description
Poachers and Poaching - Knowledge Never Learned in Schools This scarce title was first published in London 1891. It was written by a well known author who also contributed many poaching and natural history articles to the sporting press of that era. It is much sought after and valuable in its first edition. READ COUNTRY BOOKS has now re-published it using the original text. The books' 340 pages contain 14 chapters on poaching throughout the British Isles by man, beast and bird. Natural history anecdotes abound, with detailed notes on the ways of various wildlife : - Poachers and Poaching. - Badgers and Otters. - Couriers of the Air. (Bird flight) - Tracks and Tracking. - British Birds Nests and Eggs. - Minor British Game Birds. - Water Poachers. - Wild Ducks and Duck Decoying. - Field and Covert Poachers. - Workers in Woodcraft. - Sketches from Nature. etc. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all sportsmen/naturalists. Many of the earliest sporting books, particularly those dating back to the 1800s, are now extremely scarce and very expensive. READ COUNTRY BOOKS are reprinting these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions. These editions are republished using the original text and artwork.

Book Description
The poacher of these "Confessions" is no imaginary being. In the following pages the author has set down nothing but what has come within his own personal experience; and, although the little book is full of strange inconsistencies, he cannot, knowing the man, call them by a harder name. Nature made old "Phil" a Poacher, but she made him a Sportsman and a Naturalist at the same time. Although eighty years of age there is still some of the old erectness in his carriage; some of the old fire in his eyes. As a young man he was handsome, though now his features are battered out of all original conception. His silvery hair still covers a lion-like head, and his tanned cheeks are hard and firm. If his life has been a lawless one he has paid heavily for his wrong doings. Great as a poacher, he must have been great whatever he had been.
