Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poacher of these "Confessions" is no imaginary being. In the following pages the author has set down nothing but what has come within his own personal experience; and, although the little book is full of strange inconsistencies, he cannot, knowing the man, call them by a harder name. Nature made old "Phil" a Poacher, but she made him a Sportsman and a Naturalist at the same time. Although eighty years of age there is still some of the old erectness in his carriage; some of the old fire in his eyes. As a young man he was handsome, though now his features are battered out of all original conception. His silvery hair still covers a lion-like head, and his tanned cheeks are hard and firm. If his life has been a lawless one he has paid heavily for his wrong doings. Great as a poacher, he must have been great whatever he had been.

Book excerpt: "I do not remember the time when I was not a poacher; and if I may say so, I believe our family has always had a genius for woodcraft." TABLE of CONTENTS EDITORIAL NOTE. Chapter 1--The Embryo Poacher. Chapter 2--Under the Night. Chapter 3--Graduating in Woodcraft Chapter 4--Partridge Poaching. Chapter 5--Hare Poaching. Chapter 6--Pheasant Poaching. Chapter 7--Salmon and Trout Poaching. Chapter 8--Grouse Poaching. Chapter 9--Rabbit Poaching. Chapter 10--Tricks. Chapter 11--Personal Encounters. "Most country poachers begin by loving Nature and end by hating the Game Laws. Whilst many a man is willing to recognize 'property' in hares and pheasants, there are few who will do so with regard to salmon and trout. And this is why fish poachers have always swarmed. A sea-salmon is in the domain of the whole world one day; in a trickling runner among the hills the next. Yesterday it belonged to anybody; and the poacher, rightly or wrongly, thinks it belongs to him if only he can snatch it. There are few fish poachers who in their time have not been anglers; and anglers are of two kinds: there are those who fish fair, and those who fish foul. The first set are philosophical and cultivate patience: the second are predatory and catch fish, fairly if they can--but they catch fish." -John Watson

Book excerpt: Locked up for poaching abalone, Shuhood Abader began writing his life story. For years, he had been a small cog in a criminal industry stretching from the Cape underworld to China's luxury seafood market. As abalone vanishes from the South African coast, Shuhood's first-person account takes us right into the heart of the crisis. Kimon de Greef is the pre-eminent local expert on the illicit abalone trade. He contextualises Abader's raw, immediate tale by showing how the system works: from desperate fishing communities via gang strongholds on the Cape Flats, tik, guns and police complicity to th.
