Andy and ERic parked in the woods and turned off the lights. They crept through the trees trying not to disturb anything. But a crane took off just in front of them giving them a shock. "We don't normally see these here", whispered Andy. They had a craze for poaching which the crave for the illicit game had brought on. They had to be a bit brave to risk getting caught, either by the gamekeeper or by the various traps that were there. They caught a partridge, but it was a young one which they decided to spare. Upon its release it didn't seem to know what to do, so they had to scare it away. A bit further on they caught some perfect pheasants and set off back. They were discussing how to share out the spoil when Eric's foot got caught in a snare. Andy had to prize it open to let Eric free and they headed as quickly as possible back to the car, Eric limping all the way. Eric's wounds weren't too bad but any more poaching was curtailed for several weeks.
