Wabbiter, it does still have some interesting bits in it, just not what I was expecting.  A lot on catching beavers, muskrats, and bears, so not all that relevant.

Had both his books,"Survival Poaching" and "Hard-core poaching" neither were applicable to the UK,didnt learn one thing from the books except I should have saved my cash for something useful   The methods werent authors fairy stories like in the old UK so-called poaching manuals,but neither were the methods outlined overly useful either,just my 0.2 cents worth anyway

Theres a book being written and collated at the moment dugaboy,without doubt the most in-depth work on certain subjects ever written,not by a wannabee but a guy with incredible skills who really knows his art  
Not like pat-careys DVD with fake trout-tickling but a guy everyone considers the real-deal,never heard one person criticise nor say one bad word about him because everyone knows he is the oracle on certain subjects,just wait a while,it will be on the shelves,money well spend  
Gill-netting birds in Bensons book?We used to flight net duck,different concept,only ever caught cormorants in gill nets,but I dont think benson had much of an idea in that field to be honest

The lack of modesty?

Wait a minute, it must be be tidal wear's autobiography.  



When's it coming out if you aren't having a laugh?  I am genuinely intreged, you have a lot of interesting stories and a few photoshopped pictures of guys with balaclava fetishes.



Fake trout tickling reminds me of a time fishing with rods in a good salmon river, we weren't getting much, so for a laugh a friend tries tickling under the bank.  I was so surprised when he pulled out a big wild brown trout of about 3lb.  It looked good, I was like "wow, you're amazing."  When I got closer to him, I noticed the fish was dead and had been so for a while.

Photoshopped?Surely you jest sir?
