"Poaching Days."

A tribute to "the only survivor, now that the smuggler has gone, of the romantic thief, of the hunter who is himself hunted."

Bates calls the excitement in breaking out of society's confines the true source of poaching; he also extols the woods in September.

He had previously touched upon the subject in one of his Country Life columns for The Spectator ('Poaching: Old and New'. January 10, 1936, p. 52).

In Jack O'London's Weekly (London, June 1936, v. 35, no. 908, p. 791, attached).
