One Monday morning, many years ago, this well known landowner walked into the office of The Poacher's Lawyer, where he was greeted by the lawyer.
The landowner burst out with, 'I have been insulted by a man who used to polish my father's boots. Such insolence I have received from this man and I have come to you to put a stop to it.'
The lawyer said, 'Who is this man that insulted you and what has he done?'

Hunter Adair is a real countryman, who has lived and worked in the countryside all his life.

Before retirement Hunter found time to write articles for the Newcastle Journal, the Hexham Courant and the Northumberland Farming Magazine, about farming, wildlife, shooting, gundogs and the countryside. He wrote under the pen name 'The Dalesman'. He still runs the family farm and has written several very popular country books for both children and adults. Nearly all the photographs, drawings, and paintings used for the illustrations are done by himself.

He writes specifically about the laws and way of life relating to farming, wildlife, gundogs and the countryside - subjects about which he is very knowledgeable. He says that you learn something new there every day.
