micky 3,325 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 How would the modern day Super Poacher cope with the old type Game Keeper that died out in the early 60s ? they were often special Constables and carried a Truncheon , would shoot any Dog and was backed up to the Hilt by the Police and Courts ! Would you chance it ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,032 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Does anybody even proper poach anymore? My guess is most folk are out for a bit of sport more than pot filling. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
