My mum told me when me grandad was in the army it was left to me uncul to poach and he mostly used long nets and drag line for rabbits and he'd take 40 /50 a time and took big bags with snares as well ,he'd keep what was needed to feed family rest was sold to butchers ,I spoke with me uncul few times about poaching while war was on and he said he took that many rabbits it made him sick and once his father me grandad came back home he never took another rabbit ,
