Can anyone offer me anything please. I have experience on the whole, especially rearing and releasing. Thanks Quote Link to post
borntoshoot 1 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 My advise to you is to find an estate to help on for this season beating, dogging in, feeding etc and work through the summer then apply for Sparsholt college to do game and wildlife. I am currently on a level 2 diploma there, living in accomodation on campus and f*****g loving it. That way you have experience and most importantly a qualification. By they way I have just got in from the weekly disco in the bar and its fecking emmense, you will not regret it if you come here. Look into mate and good luck any questions just ask and I will try to point you in the right direction Quote Link to post
jackdean1230 2 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 thanks borntoshoot, i was thinking of sparsholt but what sort of money do you need to be able to live there ? Quote Link to post
borntoshoot 1 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Its just under 4 and a half grand a year for accomodation but you have a food card that you use in the canteen(s) and burger van to get food every day, It works out about 30 quid a week which is easy to live on because you will be going to tescos and buying food as well to take with you on practicals. Its well worth the expense though as Sparsholt is recognised as THE BEST college for Game and wildlife in the UK. Quote Link to post
