Answer:
In Chapter 6, Mr. Victor Hazell, Danny’s father explains he always poaches in Mr. Hazell’s Woods because he dislikes Mr. Hazell. Mr. Hazell owns a beer brewery, and is immensely wealthy, rude, and drinks too much. When Danny’s father refuses Mr. Hazell service for being rude to Danny, Mr. Hazell uses his money and connections to have Danny’s father harassed by having inspectors come to look at living conditions, business operations, and gasoline quality, among other things. This makes Danny’s father like Mr. Hazell even less, and brings on a poaching night. Dany’s father heads out to poach, and promises to be back by ten.
