Good Luck lad......

Maybe try a few keepers, come summer they may need help picking up eggs, repairing pens etc. It's back breaking work, but it may learn you something, give you experience and even get you some permission.

 

Good Luck..JD

I was the same as your situation, my advice is buy the Shooting Times and look up any Game farms in your area. It's what I did .
