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.
