Landlords divided society into themselves — qualified sportsmen — and everybody else — poachers to a man, or woman. Most English people were thus inclined not to regard poaching as a crime. Except for the organized, heavily armed poaching gangs of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries who poached exclusively for the blackmarket, poachers were not even thought to be ‘unmannerly’. The greatest field naturalists were often poachers. Poaching was a national pastime. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
