I read it back in May ,,was baught for my birthday ....there was a thread at the time,,,and on the the thread I said ,,it was a good book,,with some interesting things in,,,not just hunting,,but country related...

 

However I really don't think I would like them if I met them,,,the old man came across as a right old c**t,,perhaps it's just the book,,,

 

As bosun has said,,,strange family,,,

So what you're saying Cushty is that the man in the book was the 2nd last poacher, LOL.

Ive read it. I thought it was ok, but I like reading and have learnt to take most things with a pinch of salt, truth or lie, its in our nature to embellish a little. Its just that some people start believing their own stories.

I think "interesting " sums it up ,as Tomo says the old fella sounded a proper kunt ,and youv got to get past a lot of --we are the down trodden peasants ,taking from the cruel upper classes ---type of rhetoric , but interesting non the less.

Been around a long time,..met a lot of notorious characters,.heroes, famous field sports legends.

 

Some appeared to be genuine Goodfellas,..but, most were a big disappointment

On chapter 15 and so far so good, I didn't realise that a lot of the places mentioned I sort of remember as I was born in Bristol and lived in wooton-under-edge as a kid
