runem 533 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 The Last English Poachers by Bob and BrianTovey any one read it and how good or bad in your opinion? The book title cant be right,,,,,still a few hundred possibly thousand english poachers still around,,,i think its one of the true english traditions not taken over by the immigrants. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jigsaw 11,899 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I had a lash off this poaching craic when I was around 19,had good success till I got caught by a yorkshire man,busted my lips and nose and on another occasion he shot the dog but not fatally I might add,.He paid dearly for it though but I lost my nerve after that lol,Never returned to his patch again.It was like the stint at gamekeeping I had,took the glossy image off it for me,soley because I really didnt give a fuk that the foxes were enjoying the land owners pheasants,working for pittance and bowing down to the fukker,not for me.I prefer to read about it now lol, 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,511 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 It sounds a good read Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,820 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Was gonna ask if it was available to buy through gamestore etc so I could read it on the tablek but then thought no, a "proper" book is so much more intrinsically attractive IMO Cheers, D. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CushtyJook 1,097 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Funny enough I was looking at this online only to find the guy lived in the next village on from me in Gloucestershire, my grandad even knew him I'm buying the book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
