Poaching methods of old


Recommended Posts

an old shooting friend of mine used to make cones of paper, place a bit of corn/wheat in the middle and smear the rim with quicklime. These were placed along hedgerows and in furrows early morn, when the pheasants after the corn/wheat got their heads stuck in the cones, if he was quiet he could just pick them up.

If I wanted to clear a stretch of river theres ways of doing it,trust me on that,but no ones going to put them into print,if anyones got to ask they are better off with a fishing-rod and taking one for the pot.

when growing up in a old gypsy caravan the local squire had upset us locals trying buy the land from locals . my father the local mechanic. was a poacher of the old school It was coming to a shoot day me and my dad used raisons and dates tied to cotton to lure all the phessies into a bag...needles too say the squire was very embarrsed by his lack of phessies in front of his guests..Squire Coltraine was furious and my dad Jeremy and me were very happy... :thumbs:

 

Sounds champion that.
