Malt 379 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Id say the the best methods are pretty much the same methods you'd use on permission. If all these 'poaching methods' were as good as some say they are, why aren't they used on permissions up and down the country? Some of these supposed methods were just invented by authors wanting to make good reading half the time, the hunters version of old Wife's tales IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but theres certain things you can do on permission but not on private land Granted some of the stories are a load of shite Just an intresting subject Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 29,359 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Worst ones had to be the addle-brained idiot stories of burning-sulphur for pheasants,crabs&Tortoises for ferreting etc,dumb tales yet still they are perpetuated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
