The Confessions of a Poacher

"The Confessions of a Poacher" by F.L.S. John Watson is a story about a young man coming of age as a poacher, filled with exciting outdoor adventures and thoughtful examination of hunting regulations. Our main character, born into a poaching family, describes his life in the wild as he grows up on the edge of a town known for hunting, teaching us about the skills involved in poaching and the close relationship between poachers and the natural world. His story is full of childhood memories where he develops a love for wildlife and a respect for nature. It is through these experiences that he developed who he is today, a tale about adventure and the morality of living outside the law.
