Thought I would start a wee trail of Poachers tricks and tales,.I have read about .?Rabbits;1Watch where the rabbits return at dawn, next day when they are out block their burrow at arms length with rocks then grass. Chase them into their burrow and then you can reach in easily.
2 Cover all the burrows with netting then , in a baccy tin put 3 -4 boxes of match heads then light them and push in as far as possible. The rabbits panic at the smell of sulpher and bolt.
3 Pheasants, feed for a week till they get into a routine preferably near a wire fence. Then soak the feed in cheap whisky, once they are shaky chase them into the fence they need 20 ft to run before they can fly.
4 EELS,A bit of road kill in an old bag chucked in smooth water, the eels smell it and try to get into it but hide below the big stones. Get a bit of roadkill and dab it in front of the stones then stab them behind the neck with a kitchen fork.
