I have a copy of the classic ' Poacher Handbook' im only selling it as i have the revised edition, it is the same as in the picture but with the earlier green cover.

It is an ex library book but it only has 2 stamps on the inside cover.

Good condition.

 

I read the whole book the day i bought it!!!!!

 

 

Ian Niall takes us into the world of the poacher through the experiences of his many friends such as Little Hugh, Butcher Murphy and Black Bill.

 

In this book, Ian Niall explains the techniques used to catch fur, feather and fish. He prefers humane hunting and takes great pains to deplore any cruel practices which cause unnecessary suffering.

 

He starts with hares and rabbits and discusses the methods of ferreting, netting and shooting. The middle section covers the capture of partridge, pheasant and grouse whilst the final part is concerned with trout and salmon, and underline the constant battle of wits between the old poachers and the keepers and game wardens
