how to get in to gamekeeping
farmer-alex replied to garry2's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
I have been very lucky, and I actually work part time at a local estate with a GameKeeper. He teaches me first hand what to do and all about Keepering. Im only 14, but dont go to School. So spend 3days up the estate. He has actually advised me not to go to College.. And I would much rather learn GameKeeping the good old traditional way, from an older experienced person. Just Remember.. While looking through Shooting Times or any other Shoot mag.. Look at the Job Ads. All the Keepering Jobs ask for EXPERIENCE over college courses. But that depends on whether you are luck -
Hey there, have just had to put down another one of my ferrets this morning due to it going ferral. This is the second I have had to knock on the head. Both these ferrets have been rescue ones, I recon that been the problem, 'cos my other 3 that i got from Kits are perfect, and very easy to handle. Lovely things and great workers. So I was just wondering, has anyone else had any ferrals ? Cheers.

Welcome to the Forum !

Sounds like a good idea. I would rather send stuff to our hospitals, then to Africa. haha.
-
haha You might be there along time if you planning on shooting them ! Have you been to SCATS? They sell good traps, all different kinds, and they could probably advise you on exactly which trap is best. Just a thought.
-
Looks like a nice bit of permision you got there. And a great Bag ! Hope your next ferreting trip is as sucsesful.
-
Well Done Mate ! Hope its first of many.
-
I would definitely try her. She has to start sometime! haha. Good Luck.

Why do people want to steal stuff like that? Jelous

Welcome "TRAVELLINGHAWK" When you were a Keeper, what Game did you keep?
-
HAH HAH What aload of bloody townies.. How can they call all Hare Coursers Gypos ? The majority around here are but they cant make a prejudice like that! ahahaha. They do make me laugh! I hope they all get Asma from their dirty polluted cars in their crowded cities. And why were they even in our countryside? Gwrr. haha
-
I am well pleased for you mate! Hope she doesnt get lost to ground again.
-
Cheers "MAIN MAN" Sorry to hear about your greyhound. Ya cant beat going out with the local Hunt !
-
Beating is great fun and would reccomend it to anyone.. As long as you do as you are told on the beating line. haha But expect to be shouted at, at least once ! I beat on a large commercial Partridge/Pheasant Shoot. Get paid £10-£20. Hard work but very rewarding at the end of the day. I do know of a "Professional Beater", who beats 6days a week ! Not much of a income he makes.. But good luck to him.
-
Welcome. Hope you are okkay mate.
-
It was quite good actually haha. They lived right next to a busy motorway though.. But I did love the look on that townies face when a rabbit was chucked at her. Good old Channel4 !

What type or line of terrier...
farmer-alex replied to Rabbit Hunter's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I work 1jack russel and 2border terriers. They are the best in my opinion. But as long as they do the job. -
Hey there, just joined up after trying to find a decent Countryside Forum! I am 14, from Kent. I help work terriers for East Kent Hunt, have 4ferrets, go beating and work part time at Bourne Estate. I hope to be in gamekeeping when I am older. Cheers Everyone.
