This book tells the story of my days in, and my love of, the fields and countryside, starting when I was just a small lad, learning the ways and the fine art of poaching. I am in my early fifties now, with nearly a lifetime of experiences behind me. This book records all of my antics, my escapades and closely-kept secrets. I tell all the different ways of rabbit catching, plus many of the poaching tricks I have mastered over those bygone years. In my opinion, it is a book to be passed on down the generations, for the up-and-coming young rabbiting lads who want to learn the fine art of rabbit catching and mastering the art of growing wild moorland heather up on the hill tops.
